I'm having quite the problems here, I did a full Native Install on my 10GB. 265MB swap, rest reiserfs hda2. Now I'm booting Gentoox and it says
Code: Select all
*Activating (possible) swap ...
Adding Swap: 257000k swap-space (priority -1) [ok]
*Remounting root filesystem read-only ...
mount: / not mounted already, or bad option [!!]
*Checking root filesystem ...
Reiserfs superblock in block 16 on 0x302 of format 3.6 with standard journal
Blocks (total/free): 2435840/2253017 by 4096 bytes
Filesystem is NOT clean
Partition /dev/hda2 is mounted with write permissions, cannot check it
*Filesystem couldn't be fixed :( [!!]
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):
So I booted Sparkle and it finishes, boot Gentoox again.. Same problem.

any help?

This is strange, R0Bzombie has the very same problem in the Native thread above. Are these fresh installs or did it happen after some update to a working box? eg Magic.

Clean install Pro 5.0
Maybe reinstall or isn't 5.0 able to do a full native?

you mean Pro v4.0a, I don't know, no reason why not. It looks like you two will be the first to find out ;0)

I did the install again, but it's still the same error (crying and feeling depressed). I'm going to format the hdd in my PC now... maybe that will fix it =D, I'll post another reply if it works... and if it doesn't work... i'll cry and post

IT WORKS!!!!!
Pro 4.0a - 10GB HDD - gets the error and halts
Pro 4.0a - 120GB HDD - gets the error and halts
Pro 2.0a - 120GB HDD - gets the error and.... ignores it...
It says it failed to mount some files... but it continues (probably a bug in 2.0 but got fixed in 4.0?)
Tomorrow I'll try installing 2.0a on the 10GB HDD I think it will work (hopefully)

Nice... looks like I have to make some fixes. This is the price I pay for not having a hard drive big enough to test native installations

Jup, Still the same problem... block 16 gives an error (doesn't matter what HDD) maybe there is a file on the 16th block of the rootfs file that is corrupted? So I'm back @ Pro 2.0a

Heh.. theres no error on block 16. Thats where the superblock is stored.
The problem is where it is trying to mount the filesystem as read-only... it seems to be trying invalid mount options.
I'll need you to do some testing for me... Could you download
http://shallax.com:2000/initrd.gz and replace your initrd with this one.
Also, could you paste the contents of your "linuxboot.cfg" file here, please?
(I need this testing on Pro v4.0b)
