Hi all, It's exam time again and that means procastination time - as such I recently attempted to build gentoo again on my O2 using kumbas netboot kernel :
ip32-r5k-20050128.img and the boot command of bootp():root=/dev/ram0 This has REALLY not gone well thus far. 1) Nano wont open, returning the message: cannot open libncurses something something .so 2) Fdisk is behaving rather strangely only allowing me to build partitions backwards ie from 1016 (4.5 gb disk) down. If I attempt to make a partition from 1 - 100 ,say, the next time I ask for a new partition it gives the the start point of (1-0) and refuses any further input!!!! 3) After working in the stupid backwards way to get myself a boot,swap and main partition, with of course the SGI volhdr and volume it now refuses to mount. The command mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo (mounting my main partition on the gentoo area) it returns a file or directory not found error, even though fdisk printout shows that sda3 exits. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this kernel supports so many more things than the previous version I had used. Duncan Harrison. -- [email protected] mailing list
