Hi, |
| 2 |
I am trying to understand where I am at fault installing build -r14. |
| 3 |
(1) I firstly installed a kernel with "/dev/pts file system for Unix 98 |
| 4 |
PTYs" enabled. In Daniel's IBM notes re Advanced File Systems he states to |
| 5 |
disable this. Your install notes for build -r14 cover all items listed by |
| 6 |
Daniel but fail to note this item should be disabled. Having this item |
| 7 |
enabled and devfs active, would this be fatal? Could it cause the boot |
| 8 |
process to fail (see previous emails re emerge update). |
| 9 |
|

(2) While installing ppp I used "# mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0". Is this ok in a |
| 11 |
devfs system? Could it cause the boot process to fail ? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
(3) I have previously stopped part way through the build -r14 install |
| 14 |
process and noticed during "# exit" "umount /mnt/gentoo/boot; umount |
| 15 |
/mnt/gentoo; reboot" that the / parition did not un-mount. Daniel's article |
| 16 |
suggests "umount -r /mnt/gentoo" to place / in a ro state before rebooting. |
| 17 |
Could it cause the next boot process to fail ? |
| 18 |

(4) My most recent problem: (see email emerge update) |
| 20 |
I get a loop repeating "Caching service dependencies" |
| 21 |
Did a control-C |
| 22 |
Get "rm: cannot unlink './pppd.tdb' : read-only file system" |
| 23 |
Hangs on "Initializing random number generator" |
| 24 |
One of my "emerge update" processed baselayout-1.6.9 and also glibc. Are any |
| 25 |
current problems with glibc which could corrupt my system? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
|

Your help would be appreciated. |
