Now I can't do anything significant just cd. how can i repair this? Not tested: Boot a Gentoo LiveCD, create a coreutils binary package with quickpkg, mount your root fs, set ROOT environment variable to that mount point, install the binary package into your system. If the last step fails, you could also just unpack the package with tar, but that wouldn't give you any package information. BTW, what does the name _core_ utils tell you? *SCNR* Bye...

Re: [gentoo-user] scp escape characters

Re: [gentoo-user] Dell PowerEdge 750 problem

Then I could see available devices listed by kernel and it says drives are hdc1-3 :/. On live cd I see sda1-3. Now Lilo returns erorrs when trying to install it becouse on Live Cd there is no hdc. Any idea how to solve this and install Lilo to look at root=/dev/hdc3 ? When the kernel says your disk is hd*, then it is a PATA disk. When it says it's sd*, it could be pretty much everything: PATA (with new libata driver), SATA, SCSI, USB,... So I would guess that the LiveCD uses the new libata, while you're using the old driver. Make sure you compile in the needed PATA drivers for your chipset (maybe CONFIG_SATA_AHCI works). What does lspci report? Bye...

You might want to try all (h|s)da3 combinations... Because the LiveCD uses the new driver for PATA disks, which is makes them look like SCSI disks, as is true for SATA. Bye...
