Okay guys, Tried to install gentoo, it didn't work, here's what I did. Oh, |
| 2 |
and lude in #gentoo pointed out an error in my untarring of the sys.tbz2, so |
| 3 |
that solves one problem. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Anyway, I logged in, set up my HD like so: |
| 6 |
/dev/hda1 64M Linux (83) |
| 7 |
/dev/hda2 3G Fat32LBA (c) |
| 8 |
/dev/hda3 512M LinuxSwap (82) |
| 9 |
/dev/hda4 36G Empty (5) |
| 10 |
/dev/hda5 16G Fat32LBA (c) |
| 11 |
/dev/hda6 20G Linux (83) |
| 12 |
wrote the part table without any problems, then rebooted just for the heck |
| 13 |
of it. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Logged back in, did: |
| 16 |
mkreiserfs /dev/hda1 |
| 17 |
mkreiserfs /dev/hda6 |
| 18 |
mkswap /dev/hda3 |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
All went well. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Rebooted again for good measure. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
did: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
mkdir /mnt/gentoo |
| 27 |
mkdir /mnt/cdrom |
| 28 |
mount /dev/hda6 /mnt/gentoo -t reiserfs |
| 29 |
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot |
| 30 |
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot -t reiserfs |
| 31 |
mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660 |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
the last mount gave me: |
| 34 |
mount: /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read only |
| 35 |
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/mod probe -s -k nls_iso8859-1, errno = 2 |
| 36 |
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/mod probe -s -k nls_iso8859-1, errno = 2 |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Mount showed everything correctly, so I continued with: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
bzip2 -dc /mnt/cdrom/default-i686-20010525.tbz2 | tar -xvf - /mnt/gentoo |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Waited close to a minute and got: |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
tar: Names longer than 100 chars not supported |
| 45 |
tar: Names longer than 100 chars not supported |
| 46 |
tar: Names longer than 100 chars not supported |
| 47 |

| 48 |

| 49 |

| 50 |

| 52 |

| 54 |
tar: Names longer than 100 chars not supported |
| 55 |

| 58 |
tar: Names longer than 100 chars not supported |
| 59 |
tar: Names longer than 100 chars not supported |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
waited another 10 seconds and dropped back to the shell. Yes that error |
| 62 |
appeared 16 times. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
did: |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
chroot: cannot execute /bin/bash: no such file or directory |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
cd'd into the gentoo dir and looked around, but there was only my solitary, |
| 71 |
empty boot folder. |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
Anyway I'll be trying this again with cat |
| 74 |
/mnt/cdrom/default-i686-20010525.tbz2 | bzip2 -dc - | tar -xvf - from |
| 75 |
/mnt/gentoo and see how it works. |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
Thanks guys, |
