This last week I got a new harddrive for my iBook G4, so I put the new one in and put the old one in a USB2.0/FireWire enclosure. So far I've been able to:
1. Get my OS X partition copied over
2. Installed YDL 4.0 from the CD's to properly set up my linux partitions
3. Used a Gentoo bootstrap CD to copy over the contents of the old partition to the new partition, making sure to preserve permissions.
4. Booted under YDL on the new disk and ran ybin.
I can boot YDL fine, no problems, but I can't start X properly. GDM begins, but then dies after five attempts. When I startx under my user account, i can (but it just boots AfterStep). If I startx as root, (i know, not a good idea), i get errors regarding starting KDE.
So GNOME (at least GDM) and KDE, or something between the two, is broken.
Any ideas, or any suggestions on how I should duplicate the partitions?
Thanks,
Andy
