This is my 6 or 7th install of Gentoo, but all of my other installs have been on x86. The installation process has gone smoothly and I am at the very end where I emerge Silo. This is where it gets weird. Silo fails and says "Please mount the Boot partition." The odd thing is that boot shows as mounted outside the chroot environment, but once chrooted it disappears. My boot partition is configured as software RAID 1; this was never problem on my x86 boxes, and I am wondering if that could have something to do with it. Please see below for details.

Outside chroot:

Code:
livecd / # mount
tmpfs on / type tmpfs (rw)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
devfs on /dev type devfs (rw)
/newroot/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 on /mnt/cdrom type iso9660 (ro)
/dev/loop/0 on /mnt/livecd type squashfs (ro)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
tmpfs on /lib/firmware type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
none on /proc/openprom type openpromfs (rw)
/dev/md0 on /mnt/gentoo/boot type ext2 (rw)
/dev/md2 on /mnt/gentoo type ext2 (rw)
none on /mnt/gentoo/proc type proc (rw)


Inside chroot:

Code:
livecd / # mount
/dev/md2 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime)


Below is my soon to be fstab:
Code:

/dev/md0      /boot     ext2      noauto,noatime     1 2
/dev/md2      /         ext3       noatime            0 1
/dev/hda2     none      swap      defaults,pri=1     0 0
/dev/hdc2     none      swap      defaults,pri=1     0 0

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0   /mnt/cdrom   iso9660      noauto,ro      0 0

none         /proc      proc      defaults           0 0
none         /dev/shm   tmpfs     nodev,nosuid,noexec   0 0
none         /proc/openprom     openpromfs      defaults        0 0


Here is my raidtab as well:

Code:
livecd / # cat /etc/raidtab
# /boot (RAID 1)
raiddev                 /dev/md0
raid-level              1
nr-raid-disks           2
chunk-size              32
persistent-superblock   1
device                  /dev/hda1
raid-disk               0
device                  /dev/hdc1
raid-disk               1

# / (RAID 1)
raiddev                 /dev/md2
raid-level              1
nr-raid-disks           2
chunk-size              32
persistent-superblock   1
device                  /dev/hda4
raid-disk               0
device                  /dev/hdc4
raid-disk               1


Does anyone have an idea of what is going on here? I appreciate any feedback.

TIA,

JL

I found the solution on in this post. The long and short is that I need to copy "mtab" from /etc to /mnt/gentoo/etc.
