1 Hello,
2
3 I have installed 6 different Gentoo systems, all stage one without
4 difficulty. However, I decide to install via a stage one install
5 on a pentiumPro-200MHz. After a few days of compiling it works fine
6 except for a boot-mounting problem. Basically, the /dev/hda1 as /boot
7 is not getting mounted automatically upon boot
8
9 /etc/fstab:
10 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
11 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
12 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0shm
13 /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
14 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 noatime,notail 1 2
15 /dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
16
17 cat /proc/mounts upon reboot:
18 cat /proc/mounts
19 rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
20 /dev/root / reiserfs rw,noatime 0 0
21 proc /proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0
22 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
23 udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid 0 0
24 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
25 shm /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
26 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0
27
28 cat /etc/mtab:
29 /dev/hda3 / reiserfs rw,noatime 0 0
30 proc /proc proc rw 0 0
31 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
32 udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid 0 0
33 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
34 shm /dev/shm tmpfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
35 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,devmode=0664,devgid=85 0 0
36
37 So I manually mount /boot: mount /dev/hda1 /boot
38
39 and now they look fine(?)
40 cat /etc/mtab
41 /dev/hda3 / reiserfs rw,noatime 0 0
42 proc /proc proc rw 0 0
43 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
44 udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid 0 0
45 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
46 shm /dev/shm tmpfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
47 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,devmode=0664,devgid=85 0 0
48 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0
49
50 cat /proc/mounts
51 rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
52 /dev/root / reiserfs rw,noatime 0 0
53 proc /proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0
54 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
55 udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid 0 0
56 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
57 shm /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
58 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0
59 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0
60
61 so I re-run 'grub-install /dev/hda'
62
63 but I get the same proble, /boot is not mounted upon reboot.
64
65 Ideas on fixing this?
