Was starting to think I was a numpty till I checked these forums,

I`m having the same problem with Home 6.0a on a stock 10GB,

Hope It gets fixed cos I miss my gentoox & am having to use my pc alot more again now.

P.S. Shallax : - this is the one area that I cannot test as I do not have a hard drive with sufficient capacity for a native installation!

Have you not tried cheesyboofs Tut - only takes about 20 mins & you can use a stock 10GB hdd

Linuxboot.cfg:

Code: Select all

title Gentoox
kernel /boot/vmlinuz
initrd no
append init=/linuxrc root=/dev/hda2 kbd-reset video=xbox:640x480,nohwcursor,hoc=13,voc=13
title Sparkle
kernel /boot/vmlinuz
initrd /boot/sprkrd.gz
append load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=26215 rw root=/dev/hda2 kbd-reset
Also the fstab while I'm at it:

Code: Select all

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system>         <mount point>   <type>          <options>                               <dump>  <pass>
/dev/hda1               none            swap            sw                                      0       0
/dev/hda2               /               reiserfs        defaults,errors=remount-ro              0       1
proc                    /proc           proc            defaults                                0       0
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom      iso9660         defaults,ro,user,noauto                 0       0
I'll download the initrd.gz and test is right away ;)

Ahh, so its your fault.

Code: Select all

/dev/hda2               /               reiserfs        defaults,errors=remount-ro
That is wrong. Reiserfs does NOT support errors=remount-ro. Change it to "notail".

Code: Select all

/dev/hda2               /               reiserfs        notail
Could people clarify this for me? Did YOU add the /dev/hda2 line... or was it something the installation script did? If its something you added.. then it's not a bug with Gentoox at all (more a bug with the tutorial you followed), and the whole Pro v4.0b release was pointless :\

It came from cheesyboofs tutorial :P:P
Then edit the fstab on the new drive;
# vi /mnt/hda2/etc/fstab
/dev/hda1 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda2 / reiserfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
Proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
It wasn't me... realy 8)

Heh.. so all this has been a wild goose-chase "find the non-existant bug" for me.

Oh well... that line I gave you should fix it... let me know.

Another thing...
I have 2 HDD's (10GB and 120GB)
I have Gentoox on the 10GB as a master HDD (slave modus; it won't boot), but the drive I'm adding doesn't support slave modus :(
But if I'm switching the drives (10GB Slave, 120GB Master) the bios doesn't see the Native install :(:(
Is it possible to put a 'linuxboot.cfg' on the 120GB HDD and point it to the bootfiles on the 10GB HDD???

:edit: Never mind.. I've messed around with the juper settings and it works, I'm now editting the fstab 8)
Do you still want me to test the initrd.gz?

No, you're not even using the initrd. You can delete it and your installation will still work.

The outcome of the 'notail edit' says "The filesystem IS clean" in stead of "The filesystem is NOT clean"
Thanx for the help (now cheesyboofs needs to fix the tutorial 8) )

I was wondering about that too, Mine doesn`t have the dvd drive line, I don`t use the dvd drive either.

Sorry to hear about your premature release ;)

Edited this afternoon :D Works like a charm on home 6.0a as well. Nice one :wink:
