|
|
I'm trying to install an unstable gentoo on another hard drive, so instead of doing an install via the LiveCD with all text mode, I would try to install via Knoppix. I can get as far as partitioning the drive to get my boot, swap, and root partition, but when I try to format them to ext3, it won't let me, so I got them formatted in reiserfs right now. When I try to mount them to my created /mnt/gentoo I get this error:
Code: |
root@Knoppix:/ramdisk/home/knoppix# mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/gentoo
mount: /dev/sdb3 already mounted or /mnt/gentoo busy
|
and when I try to turn the swap on, I get this:
Code: |
root@Knoppix:/ramdisk/home/knoppix# swapon /dev/sdb2
swapon: /dev/sdb2: Invalid argument
|
I have tried searching google, and these forums, and I can't find any useful information on getting the install going through Knoppix. The only thing I keep reading is I can use Knoppix so I can have a graphical interface during the install. Can someone point me in the right direction to get this install going, or tell me how I can correct this issue? Thanks. |

Here it is:
Code: |
root@Knoppix:/ramdisk/home/knoppix# mount
/dev/root on / type ext2 (rw)
/ramdisk on /ramdisk type tmpfs (rw,size=1659152k,mode=755)
/UNIONFS on /UNIONFS type aufs (rw,br:/ramdisk:/KNOPPIX)
/dev/hda on /cdrom type iso9660 (ro)
/dev/cloop on /KNOPPIX type iso9660 (ro)
/proc/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,devmode=0666)
/dev/pts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)

are we sure that the drive you are trying to mount is seen and that the /mnt/gentoo folder exits?
check for the drive
