OK, my comp says I have read write but when I do anything, (Like try to save a document.) it tells me it's write protected. I just got the system up so nothing is installed. Also it only dose this when I boot the system, but not with lives DCs/USBs.

Hmm, just a guess.

Check your /etc/fstab

Whats the output of #mount
Whats the output of #cat /etc/fstab

Are you root and try to write a file? If you are a user, you need to set special permissons to write on ext4 (more complicated). First you should be able to write as root. Than you can set permissons for user.

And yes I did it as root. I'd need to be able to write to make a user account.

boot the cd, run:
Code:
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
wgetpaste /mnt/gentoo/var/log/dmesg
post the url

boot the cd, run:
Code:
fsck /dev/sda3
fsck /dev/sda1
picture of the output of each command

boot the installed gentoo (hard drive), run
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /
if there is output, post picture

Could this be the problem?

I met heard that's something I need for a 32bit kernel... But I don't want to touch it unless I find it the menu.

it won't hurt to enable it.
is under "enable the block layer" in menuconfig
you will need to boot cd, mount the gentoo partitions, and enter the chroot to reconfigure and recompile the kernel

there is a line in red about boot filesystem that if googled gets much discussion of lbdaf as you already pointed out
I think you said you did reconfigure to enable CONFIG_LBDAF and recompiled - but just in case, boot the installed gentoo on the hard drive, run
Code:
grep -i CONFIG_LBDAF /usr/src/linux/.config
zgrep -i CONFIG_LBDAF /proc/config.gz
if the output of the first is CONFIG_LBDAF=y the configuration has it; if the output of thesecond is CONFIG_LBDAF=y the running kernel has it; as lbdaf is enabled in the pappy's kernel that was used for your kernel this should be an academic exercise; but if it is not enabled in the running kernel, you need it

run
Code:
nl /proc/mounts
does "rootfs / rootfs rw" and "/dev/sda3 / ext4 rw,noatime" appear?

Code:
ls -l /
does drwxr-xr-x root root appear in the lines that end in . and .. and for the other directories?

Silly me, I did live it in. But before I get out of the menu could this have anything to do with it?

OK... Nobody's responding... Adding:

Fermware blobs
CardBus IDE
Generic PCI IDE chip set
FireWire driver stack

I'll let you know of that helps.

I can do the commands after completion.

Update: Done. It didn't seem to make any difference.

Here's the output.

rootfs / is rw
/dev/sda3 / is ro

Means
/etc/init.d/root || /etc/fstab
is messy?

PS: CONFIG_LBDAF is needed with Terrabyte harddisk ....
PS2: /usr/src/linux/.config != /proc/config.gz (Can you boot with the new kernel?)

... you are too fast, I have edited two PS ...

- Write down your /etc/fstab / - root entry
- Is it /dev/sda3 for sure?
- Can you use localversion, just to be sure to boot a new kernel?
Code:
# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep LOCALVERSION
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-1001.bfiosprdo"
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y

... you are too fast: localversion - see above
Are you sure it is /dev/sda?
Is it an external drive?
Do you have more than one harddisk drive?
Are you sure, you have ext4 in kernel .config
Are you sure, you formated ext4 not ext2 ?
Are you using an initrd, dracut-or-genkernel?

I had a look at your above excerpts :
Code:

                         EXT4-fs (sda3): couldn't mount as ext3 due to feature incompatibilities
[    2.791316] EXT4-fs (sda3): couldn't mount as ext2 due to feature incompatibilities
[    2.842039] EXT4-fs (sda3): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)

Yes... It wouldn't boot without it silly.
Yes.

... you are too fast ... see above:
You didn't format the drive ext4
Or you don't have ext4 in kernel .config.
Or you once booted forcely in ext3 mode and all was messed up?

I am not sure, but something like that.
Or wrotten hardware? Another harddisk...

Probably a very silly error, you must look at it yourself:
try excluding all possible errors systematicaly!

Now I see what you mean by to fast... Have you tried tabbed browsing?

Now... Let's go back and read.

http://i.imgur.com/ukLJi85h.jpg

As for the ext2 and 3 fails, I had the use ext4 for ext3 and ext2 drivers, but I tock them out.

I know the hard drive can work because I had it working befor.

Why do you keep clicking submit if you're just going to add more?

Can you please post the relevant lines from grub.cfg, i.e., the ones for the boot option that you are choosing in GRUB?

Code:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
menuentry 'Gentoo GNU/Linux' --class gentoo --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-f3f2a899-bf84-4bc8-a56b-f9a2b616c141' {
   load_video
   insmod gzio
   insmod part_msdos
   insmod ext2
   set root='hd0,msdos1'
   if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
     search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos1  5a5bfdbb-2cde-4d7b-b73a-c5d461d8ba17

   fi
   echo   'Loading Linux 3.10.17-gentoo ...'
   linux   /vmlinuz-3.10.17-gentoo root=/dev/sda3 ro

Hu... That can't be write... Maybe:

Code:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
menuentry 'Gentoo GNU/Linux' --class gentoo --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-f3f2a899-bf84-4bc8-a56b-f9a2b616c141' {
   load_video
   insmod gzio
   insmod part_msdos
   insmod ext4
   set root='hd0,msdos1'
   if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
     search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos1  5a5bfdbb-2cde-4d7b-b73a-c5d461d8ba17
   else
     search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 5a5bfdbb-2cde-4d7b-b73a-c5d461d8ba17
   fi
   echo   'Loading Linux 3.10.17-gentoo ...'
   linux   /vmlinuz-3.10.17-gentoo root=/dev/sda3 rw

Or is that dumb?

It looks like you're not using and initramfs, so that simplifies things a bit. I would just take out the 'ro' altogether, and see how that works.

The "ro" is very important! With out that, the system can _NOT_ fsck the root device if anything went wrong!
The system will be remounted rw after boot stage.

J.I.N.X.: Please follow the guide at http://kernel-seeds.org/working.html that determines your hardware and which drivers to load. The whole story looks like a driver conflict to me.
