Okay, I give up. I had a Gentoo 1.4 system on the iMac (400MHz, |
| 2 |
64Mb, tons of disk space, swap space etc.) but I thought - it's a |
| 3 |
bit old and I want some new things to try out so I'll upgrade. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Mistake. |

I've tried the emerge update route, I've tried the 2004.3 CD |
| 8 |
route. I keep getting a message when I reboot the system |
| 9 |
after the initial install that my root filesystem is R/O. Or /etc |
| 10 |
is R/O. Sungle user mode insists that it can't find /dev/hda14. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I've tried ext2, ext3, reiserfs. Different lists of errors but the |
| 13 |
same symptom. fstab is ok, yaboot.conf is ok. The Universal |
| 14 |
CD boots and I can quite obviously get at /dev/hda14 to |
| 15 |
install things but when the reboot comes along this happens. |
| 16 |
I've tried jiggling options in fstab as well. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The only other place I saw something like this on the web was |
| 19 |
a Japanese Gentoo site but the Babelfish translation of that |
| 20 |
just tells me that they don't know what the problem is either. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Obviously I'm missing something. I tried the forums (still |
| 23 |
awaiting my enrollment confirmation). I've scanned various |
| 24 |
lists etc. I can't find anything. |

Help? Please? |
