Okay,
I hate being a newbie, but I guess you have to start somewhere. I got all the way through the gentoo install, using the genkernel and using lilo, but at the very end where you are supposed to do this
# exit
cdimage ~# cd
cdimage ~# umount /mnt/gentoo/boot /mnt/gentoo/dev /mnt/gentoo/proc /mnt/gentoo
cdimage ~# reboot
After doing the exit, then the cd
I get an error saying it doesn't know what unmount is, so I decided to skip that line (I guess that was a bad idea) and just rebooted.
It went into lilo, began to boot gentoo, then I get this:
ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/root is mounted
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/root
/dev/root:
The superblock could not be read or does not descirbe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem ( and not swap of ufs or something selse_, then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 (device)
*filesystem couldnt be fixed [!!]
give root password for maintenence
of typer control-d to continue
Pretty much what I am asking is, what should I do? :-/
Thanks

I guess you wrote "unmount" instead of "umount" Not the reason of the problem. DownSet is right |

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Duplicate Threads.
See here and as already pointed out, for some daft reason you unmount with the umount command. _________________ Please add [solved] to the initial post's subject line if you feel your problem is resolved. Help answer the unanswered
