haleh,
When you did ls /boot were you chrooted to gentoo from live media  If so then that's normal.
OOPS  Disregard that
Are you chrooted to gentoo or did you boot gentoo If you booted gentoo then you probably are not mounting /boot

haleh,
OK, what's happening is /boot is not automatically mounted at boot. Before copying bzimage there, mount /boot first
If you don't want to fall in that trap again, remove noauto from the fstab file for the /boot line.

haleh,
Going to need some info - paste these back:
| Code: | uname -a
ls -l /boot
ls -l /usr/bin/startx
cat /home/yourname/.xinitrc (change yourname to your login name)
cat /etc/fstab
eix -CcI x11-base
|
If you don't get anything from eix -CcI x11-base then | Code: | | emerge eix && eix-update |
then try it again

The guide you've mentioned is a bit incomplete.
(BTW, that '/dev/cdrom' line is a bit pointless, but that's a different issue)
The real question here is what will you be running within xorg-server ?
I suspect that "command not found" at the end of startx output was the correct and expected behavior. |

This is exactly what I did !!
| Code: | Login :root
#cd /usr/src/linux
#make menuconfig
Device Drivers--->
Input device support -->
<*>Event interface
Device Drivers --->
Graphics support --->
support for frame buffer devices --->
(Disabling the drivers)
console display driver support --->
<*>frame buffer console support
#make && make module_install
#cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.34-gentoo-r1
#eselect kernel list
[1] linux-3.2.21-gentoo
#nano -w /etc/make.conf
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev synaptics"
VIDEO_CARD="nouveau"
#echo "x11-base/xorg-server udev" >> /etc/portage/package.use
#emerge xorg-server
#env-update
#source /etc/profile
$startx
|
I know that I should have made a mistake here in codes but what is wrong???? |

Let me repeat myself:
The real question here is what will you be running within xorg-server ?
I suspect that "command not found" at the end of startx output was the correct and expected behavior.
Full output of startx or a pastebin of xorg log could help in making sure that's the case. |

I am sorry but I don't understand what you are saying,
I want to install Gnome,and now I am configuring X server but as I am new and I don't have experience I will face problems 
Full output of $startx :-bash :startx :command not found !! |

Honestly...
First of all, x11-apps/xinit.
Second, above will change very little, as xorg-server is for running its clients and most likely you didn't set up any.
At minimum, it should be a window manager (in Gnome that's IIRC metacity), but most likely you want at least a session manager (so, gnome-session). |

haleh,
A couple of things - there's a mismatch of kernels. Check the times and version
| Quote: | uname -a
Linux tux 3.2.21-gentoo #2 SMP sat July 7 15:01:25 local time zone must be set ---s ee zic m i686 Intel(R) core(TM) 2Duo CPU T5870 @ 2.00 GHZ Genuine Intel GNU/Linux
ls -l /boot
total 4820
-rw-r--r--1 root root 4919664 July 9 18:31 Kernel-2.6.34-gentoo-r1
|
x11-base/xorg-server is not installed. You should follow this http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
| Quote: | ls -l /usr/bin/startx
ls:/usr/bin/startx : No such file or directory
|
Going through the above will tell you what to do to cure this
| Quote: | ls -l /home/root/.xinitrc
ls :/home/root/.xinitrc : No such file or directory |

You might post the output of the mount command. Run it logged
in as root:
| Code: |
[root's user prompt] mount
|
See what is mounted where with what mount options.
(All the "not founds" seem to indicate that partitions
are not mounted where you expect them to be.)

Bill : I wonder about mismatch of them too,but I don't know why this is like this !! when I run your command I understand that it is not installed but I followed http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml and I wrote in my previous post what commands did I run !!!!! I am very curious what did I wrong ??? |

Let's try this again since you've done several things:
ls -l /boot
ls -l /home
ls -l arch/x86/boot/bzImage
eselect profile show
eix -CcI x11-base

| Actually, a better check would be 'ls -l /usr/bin/X' as startx script is a part of xinit - while it's listed in the ebuild as a hard dep, it's (mostly) just for convenience sake. |

Yeah,you are right,I didn't setup any clients and about window manager ,I think that I should it install it after X server configuration ,AM I RIGHT????or not |

Sorry, my mistake with bzimage
Try | Code: | | ls -l /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage |
Also eix -CcI x11-base shows nothing - it should show
| Code: | gentoo 3.5.0-rc6 # eix -CcI x11-base
[I] x11-base/xorg-drivers (1.12@06/10/2012): Meta package containing deps on all xorg drivers
[I] x11-base/xorg-server (1.12.2@07/04/2012): X.Org X servers
|
so | Code: | | emerge x11-base/xorg-server |
then paste back when done
Another strange thing is your fstab shows a separate /boot partition, but you don't show a lost+found directory
So paste back | Code: | | mount|column -t && blkid |

haleh,
Looking through all the info in this thread things are getting more and more confusing It doesn't appear that you're chrooting correctly. The output of mount for wcg doesn't show /dev/sda6 mounted which is your / (root) partition
What live meda are you using and whatever you're using chroot to gentoo like this:
| Code: | mkdir /mnt/gentoo
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile
export PS1="\[\033[1;33m\]chroot to ->\[\033[1;31m\](gentoo) #\[\e[0m\] "
|
I can't tell if you have a separate /home partition or not so just start with /boot and /.
After you're chrooted paste back | Code: | | mount|column -t && blkid |
