I have been trying to install Gentoo 2005.1 on an SATA drive connected to |
| 2 |
a Silicon Image chipset controller. The SATA interface and drive are found |
| 3 |
at boot, I then create 3 parititions: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
/dev/sda1 32M /boot |
| 6 |
/dev/sda2 512M |
| 7 |
/dev/sda3 40GB / |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Then I go through the usual process of untarring a stage3 tarball, copying |
| 10 |
over a portage snapshot and distfiles etc. all goes well, the files are on |
| 11 |
the partitions and all looks fine. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The issue occurs when I try to chroot into the new environment when |
| 14 |
issuing the command chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash I get the error |
| 15 |
"segmentation fault" and cannot chroot into the new environment. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Is there likely to be something that I am doing wrong? Is there another |
| 18 |
set of instructions specifically for an SATA install? |

I had issues getting the drive to work in Windows as well until I removed |
| 21 |
by Pinannacle PCTV card after which Windows found the drive with no |
| 22 |
problems - could it perhaps be that this caused a hardware conflict that |
| 23 |
caused the above error? I haven't had the time to try the install again |
| 24 |
since removing the PCTV card but would like to know if there is anything |
| 25 |
different I need to do to install Gentoo to an SATA disk. |
