The entry: |
2 |
"kernel /kernel-2.6.13-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 |
3 |
real_root=/dev/hda3 udev" |
4 |
in grub.conf should be on one line -- sorry -- |
5 |
I see that it was split into two lines at the space between 8192 and |
6 |
real_root when it came back to me through the mail list handler and my mail |
7 |
client. Probably happened to you also. As " real_root=/dev/hda3 udev " are |
8 |
kernel arguments they need to be on the same line as "kernel". |
9 |
This should solve the first problem. |
10 |
Make the change above to grub.conf . |
11 |
Reboot. |
12 |
|
13 |
I think the second problem is not related to the first. There is |
14 |
probably a problem with the network settings. Page 40 to 46 of the amd64 |
15 |
gentoo handbook are a good start on the networking problem. Short summary |
16 |
follows. My best guess is that adding dhcpcd to rc is necessary and not |
17 |
documented. |
18 |
|
19 |
May I suggest (presuming your intent was to have the network mount |
20 |
automatically and you connect via ethernet): |
21 |
|
22 |
Run the command: |
23 |
|
24 |
dir /sbin/dh* |
25 |
|
26 |
If the response is "/sbin/dhcpcd" then the dhcp client demon is installed. |
27 |
If "No such file or directory" error occurs, dhcpcd needs to be emerged. (Or |
28 |
you wanted to use some other dhcp client.) |
29 |
|
30 |
Run the command: (modified if you wanted to use and have emerged some other |
31 |
dhcp client.) |
32 |
|
33 |
rc-update add dhcpcd default |
34 |
|
35 |
nano -w /etc/conf.d/hostname |
36 |
and |
37 |
(Set the HOSTNAME variable to your hostname) |
38 |
HOSTNAME="yourcomputername" |
39 |
|
40 |
nano -w /etc/conf.d/domainname |
41 |
|
42 |
(Set the DNSDOMAIN variable to your domain name) |
43 |
DNSDOMAIN="yourhomenetworkname"rc-update add domainname defaultnano -w |
44 |
/etc/conf.d/net |
45 |
(should be blank or all lines commented) |
46 |
|
47 |
rc-update add net.eth0 default |
48 |
|
49 |
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start |
50 |
