1 I bought a CD set of Gentoo 2005.1 for AMD64, and am trying to install it.
2 The system is AMD64-3200+, with 1.5G ram, and an unformatted 300 G hard
3 drive.
4
5 When I tried to boot from the CD it got lost doing the auto hardware
6 config. I figured it was because I had several TV tuner card plugged in,
7 so I:
8 Boot: gentoo nodetect
9 It came up ok. I partitioned the HD ok. I set it up as:
10
11 dev Boot start end blocks id system
12 partition size
13 hda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
14 100M
15 hda2 14 379 2939895 82 Linux swap
16 3G
17 hda3 380 10000 772806824+ 83 Linux
18 10G
19 hda4 10001 36482 212724697+ 83 "
20 the rest
21
22 I set hda1 & 3 to ext3 file system, and hda4 to ReiserFS
23
24 The root is /mnt/gentoo on /dev/hda3
25
26 I then did:
27 tar -xvjpf /mnt/cdrom/stages/stage3-20050709-2005.1.tar.bz2
28 then
29 tar -xvjf /mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-20050709.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr
30 As I watched the blur flashing by on the monitor, about 2/3 of the way
31 through the lines began to rap. When the process stopped and I could see
32 what was happening; after each tar command it was stating
33 "cannot write no space left on device."
34 This baffles me as 10 Gig should be plenty of space?
35 Also I can't find a command that will show the amount of disk usage? I
36 can't even find a command that shows that I have /mnt/gentoo on hda3?
37
38 What have I done wrong?
