 Posted: Tue Jan 07, 2003 11:27 pm Post subject: Emerge Command not found. |
 |
|
After installing Gentoo I rebooted to actually start using Gentoo. However after rebooting I couldn't get Gentoo to work (I had forgotten to move bzImage into the boot directory). I loaded off the CD again and tried to move bzImage, however it wasn't there. Then I tried to emerge the kernel again and start over again. But when I try to emerge any thing I get the error:
Bash: Emerge: Command not found.
I followed the instructions in another thread whcih said to do go and follow the instructions here: https://forums.gentoo.org/faq.php#6 . However the /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files/ directory is not there. In fact it only goes as far as /usr/portage/ . If anyone could tell me how to get portage working again it'd be great. I'm not exactly sure what I did to screw everything up, as I am very new to Gentoo and Linux for that matter. |

Assuming you didn't format your partitions again the following procedure should work. When you boot off of the Live CD you should be able to create the /mnt/gentoo directory just as you did during the install. You then | Code: | | mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo |
or what ever you set up as your / partition. From there | Code: | | mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot |
You should now be able to say | Code: | | cp /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /mnt/gentoo/boot/bzImage |
If you setup grub and fstab and other things during the install then unmount both partitions and then reboot.

itsr0y and Bloody Bastard I did mean | Code: | | bash: emerge: command not found. |
It was just a typo, sorry for the confusion.
ctford0 I followed your directions and the firs three steps did work. However when I type the last step I get the following:
| Code: | | cp: cannot stat '/mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage': No such file or directory |
Thank you anyway though. |

you can chroot in that partition and then compile a kernel
| Code: |
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
cd /usr/src/linux
make......

| Code: | | chroot: cannot change root directory to /mnt/gentoo: No such file or directory |
Is there any way I can just restart my installation from scratch? |

Of course you can, just boot the Gentoo CD and start from step 1. But have you made a mountpoint /mnt/gentoo and then mounted the gentoo partition on it?
