|
|
Well I am 2.5 days into this adventure (for the second time, so the total is 5 days and counting) and I have run into a roadblock (again). I am trying to get 1.4_rc4 working on a Sun Ultra 5 / 360 Mhz / 256 Mb machine. I did everything the same as the install instuctions. Well there were obviously some changes, but the partitioning is the same (hda1=/boot 83, hda2=swap 82, hda3=whole disk 5, and hda4=/ 83) and I used ext3 for all but the swap space. I did a stage1 install and compiled all of the neccesities into the kernel. I made silo.conf look exactly like the example and copied it over to /boot and it tested fine in both spots. I then rebooted and there is when the problem set in.
devfsd starts ok and then I get the following:
______________________________________
modprobe: Can't open /etc/modules.conf
modprobe: include /etc/modules.conf failed
modprobe: Invalid line 135 in /etc/modules.devfs
______________________________________
It bombs out and gives me a read only file system. Can anyone tell me a way to make my filesystem writable from here? I don't understand how the /etc/modules.conf can just go missing.
Line 135 in /etc/modules.devfs is include /etc/modules.conf
If there is any info that woulld be more helpful please let me know.
Thanks in advance! |

that should be contained in baselayout (thanks bazik)
boot back up with the cd, and chroot in as you normally would, and run 'modules-update'. _________________ -Todd <todd@gentoo.org>

Thanks. I know I can use chroot to get a rw filesystem because i tried that this morning and got in. I will try the modules-update when I get home from work. |

Well that fixed it. I had a couple of other things messed up as well. I finally got to the login prompt. What a great adventure. I'll see what kind of other obstacles are yet to overcome. Thanks for the help. |
