Hi all,
I've been attempting a stage 2 Gentoo installation with genkernel, following the instructions in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook.xml?part=1, using a knoppix boot disk.
The installation seemed to go fine, but when I tried to boot gentoo, the boot sequence errored with the message "Unable to open console".
On rebooting my knoppix rescue disk, I noticed the gentoo /dev directory is empty, which apparently can cause the "unable to open console" error.
I'm hoping this is a known problem and someone can suggest a simple fix. If not, I'll scrap the installation and start again.
Well, /dev should be empty if you are not in your Gentoo installation. This directory is populated by devfsd while your system is running. What kernel did you use?
