Thats only going to show up if you have an incorrect /etc/fstab.Hi,
Some one on my team has done a really stupid thing. He did a stage 3 setup on a P4 machine, using all 386 stages. So the CCFLAG and CHOST are all set to i386.
It is then delivered to a hosting company which means we currently don't have physical access to it.
That machine was running OK for the past few weeks. He then realized his error, and hence changed the CHOST, CCFLAG, and done a bootstrap (using that actual machine, not a livecd).
Now the machine is completely screwed. Any chance we can rescue? And How?
The hosting company has told us that the machine reports /dev/BOOT
/dev/ROOT missing during a fsck, even with a correct fstab file. What
could cause that?
When he bootstrapped chances are portage told him to run etc-update and he did, probably merging a new /etc/fstab over the old one. This would happen if he just used -5 to merge all changes. Regardless, you will need a liveCD to fix it.
Thanks very much indeed.
