Thank you for the tips. However, the same cable allows me to boot Gentoo from minimal CD and legacy system from an old IDE drive. As to the new SATA drive, I formatted it anew and created ext4 file system with mkfs.ext4 --cc /dev/sdb2 which 4 times tested the partition writing and reading from it. Moreover, after chrooting into the partition, I do all update and emerge tasks, and it works fine. > On 2021-02-15 21:13, gevisz wrote: > > пн, 15 февр. 2021 г. в 20:59, Jude DaShiell <jdash...@panix.com>: > >> > >> Check the date and time when you boot and if it isn't correct, you > >> probably have a dead battery on your motherboard.
