Hello all,
I got a problem at home right now.
Booting goes well until the "Adding swap" part.
After that I get the following errors:
/sbin/rc lin 262: install: command not found
/sbin/rc lin 299: install: command not found
ln: creating symbolic link `/mnt/init.d/softscripts.new/bootmisc` to ``/etc/init.d/bootmisc`: No such file or directory
The last one repeats lots of times and then I get one of these "emergency prompts"
Can anyone tell me what is wrong? The last things I did was updating binutils and coreutils could this be it?
If I boot from cd and chroot into my install all seems fine. I re-emerged binutils and coreutils but that did not help.
Sorry if you tried it already, but did you double-check your /etc/fstab file?
If you can find the file it complains about (i.e. /etc/init.d/bootmisc)
in the 'chrooted' environment, it could be something very basic like broken fstab.
I have a "policy" of building all things I always need into the kernel. I hate initrd and only fiddled with it some time ago when experimenting with bootsplash.If you are booting with 'initrd', try building necessary modules into kernel and boot without it. Personally I found it to be easier, but it's just me. The only additional modules you need to compile in in this case are: support for your file system and scsi/raid if any. Once it mounted a filesystem, kernel should have no trouble to load the rest of the drivers as modules (sound, etc.).
Mine looks similar (as I remember it) expect the vga part.In my case (no initrd) I have a kernel startup parameter like this 'root=/dev/hdb4' to tell it where my root filesystem is.From grub.conf:title Gentoo Linux 2.4.22 r5 root (hd1,0) kernel (hd1,0)/kernel-2.4.22-gentoo-r5 vga=0x0317 root=/dev/hdb4 hdc=ide-scsi
Thanks for your hints.Initrd emergency prompt has few tools available, not much but enough to poke around, you may notice something if you do. You can try to mount root partition yourself in it and see what happens, again, may give you some hints.
