Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2014 7:55 pm Post subject: Fresh install, but no can boot |
|
|
Prior to leaving chroot, Grub2 went through its song and dance routine and gave no error messages. So I cleaned everything up and rebooted.
I use that term rather loosely, as it tried to reboot but stops with this message
Booting 'Gentoo GNU/Linux'
Loading Linux 3.12.21-gentoo-r1 ...
and the cursor "ain't not blinking". I guess it's like the screen has frozen.
I'm guessing I should chroot back in and re look at Grub, though I don't know what I'm expecting to find.
Any thoughts?
TIA,

Does disk activity continue even though the screen freezes?
How did you create the kernel?
boot the install cd/usb, mount the gentoo partitions, run: Code: | lspci -k | wgetpaste
wgetpaste /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config
wgetpaste /proc/cpuinfo | post the url's returned _________________ Defund the FCC. |

No

Waded through and built the kernel myself

wgetpaste /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config :
the url of the paste is missing
while you're at it:
Code: | wgetpaste /mnt/gentoo/var/log/dmesg |

Do you have an initrd/initramfs? Are you using raid, lvm, luks, or the like?
Linux/x86 3.6.8-gentoo-r1 Kernel Configuration is quite old; is that what you're expecting?

I've been facing a similar problem. I half way solved it by using bootoptions.
So you may try to add the common options for grafik-problems nomodeset and xforcevesa nomodeset did the trick for me. In addition I got a hint after compiling the third kernel to use . So my Bootentry in /boot/grub.cfg looks like Code: | ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
Linux-Abbild gefunden: /boot/kernel-3.12.21
menuentry 'Gentoo GNU/Linux' --class gentoo --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-deaad932-9b4e-4365-ac21-8a3d36cad531' {
load_video
insmod gzio
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
set root='hd0,gpt4'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,gpt4 --hint-efi=hd0,gpt4 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,gpt4 deaad932-9b4e-4365-ac21-8a3d36cad531
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root deaad932-9b4e-4365-ac21-8a3d36cad531
fi
echo 'Linux 3.12.21 wird geladen …'
linux /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.12.21-gentoo rootfstype=ext4 root=/dev/sda4 nomodeset xforcevesa ro
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-3.12.21-gentoo
} |
Possibly this could help you, too |

Your paste (lsusb) can be seen here: http://bpaste.net/show/361297/
I did a "find" for both the initrd and the initramfs and nothing came back. Not using raid, lvm, luks or anything like that.
As for the kernel version (3.6.8 ...) I think that was the one that came with the genkernel. I was going to go that route originally, since I hadn't built a kernel for about two years, but then I thought Oh, just screw it. Bite the bullet and build it. So, here I is.
I'm at the point of just trying to get up and running, then I'll update everything that needs it.
Bill
Edit - BTW, when I chroot back in do you think I just need to address the grub stuff? _________________ amd64, 1 gig memory. I'm a hobbyist scuba diver. I've dived down to 132 feet in the Caribbean's Great Blue Hole. I'm also a God loving Christian.

Thank you Brummbaer. Once I chroot back in I'll look at my grub.cfg file.

You may alter the line temporarily when you see the grub menu by typing "e". If you added the bootoption you may press F10 to start with this option.
When you found out which option works you may edit your grub.cfg. |

Quote: | Booting 'Gentoo GNU/Linux'
Loading Linux 3.12.21-gentoo-r1 | suggests that grub2 worked as designed. I see the problem as a misconfigured kernel.
The kernel config you pasted identifies itself as Quote: | # Linux/x86 3.6.8-gentoo-r1 Kernel Configuration | Obviously this is not Linux 3.12.21-gentoo-r1. Perhaps you pasted the kernel on the install cd; perhaps the linux symlink in the installed system is pointed at the wrong source files. In any event the pasted config can not work without an initrd . I have prepared a config file for your system. It started from a Pappy's kernel seed, archaic but the last one, updated for your equipment. If you wish to try it, proceed as follows: Boot the installcd/usb, mount the gentoo partitions, enter the chroot: (nominally) Code: | mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys
mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash |
Code: | source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1" | Then: Code: | eselect kernel set linux-3.12.21-gentoo-r1
cd /usr/src/linux
make clean
make mrproper
wget -O /usr/src/linux/.config http://bpaste.net/raw/361836/
make menuconfig | Look around, change something, select it, change it back. This allows any automatic changes to occur . Exit enough times to be prompted to save the configuration. Save the configuration. Then: Code: | make && make modules_install && make install
nano /etc/portage/make.conf | edit to include VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau" and INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" Then: Code: | emerge xf86-input-evdev xf86-video-nouveau xorg-server usbutils pciutils wgetpaste
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
wgetpaste /boot/grub/grub.cfg | Then make a graceful exit: Code: | exit
cd
umount -l /mnt/gentoo/dev{/shm,/pts,}
umount -l /mnt/gentoo{/boot,/proc,}
reboot |

Thanks DONAHUE. At least now I know what you were doing - the pappy kernel. I obviously screwed up!, but with your last post I should be able to dig my way out . It's going to take me a little time to carefully do this, but it will get done. As Arnold Swartzeneger (sp?) once said I'll be back.

Right now my partition table looks like this:
/dev/sda1 1 3 ext2 grub bios-grub
/sda2 3 131 ext2 /boot
/sda3 131 643 none /swap
/sda4 643 end ext4 /root
I can reformat if need be or keep the above and sub into your instructions where needed.

when i used the word nominal I meant for you to adjust to suit your partition scheme.
I had not noticed that you were using a gpt partition scheme and uefi.
The config I provided did not include efi support.
Are you using efi stub kernel?
Which wiki(s) did you follow?
boot the install cd/usb, then: Code: | parted -l | wgetpaste
gdisk -l /dev/sda | wgetpaste |

As far as I know I'm not using u/efi, though I did partition using gparted.
Quote: | parted -l | wgetpaste |
returns with
Quote: | Warning: Unable to open /dev/sr0 read-write (Read-only file system). /dev/sr0
has been opened read-only.
Error: Invalid partition table - recursive partition on /dev/sr0. |
The konsole I'd been using to do my mounting, chrooting, etc is now completly locked up. I'm going to close it and open another and see where I is.

if no efi involved the config should do fine.
the Quote: | Warning: Unable to open /dev/sr0 read-write (Read-only file system). /dev/sr0
has been opened read-only.
Error: Invalid partition table - recursive partition on /dev/sr0. | is a typical comment for a cd by parted.
It should be following a summary of the hard drive(s) partitions, however, and should not cause lockup's. _________________ Defund the FCC. |

I've just setup sda4 as /mnt/gentoo/root and sda2 as /mnt/gentoo/boot. Should I setup the bios-grub (sda1) as /gentoo/bios-grub also?
Bill
Edit - stupid question! It's now retracted! I'm putting it under /gentoo/bios-grub also. _________________ amd64, 1 gig memory. I'm a hobbyist scuba diver. I've dived down to 132 feet in the Caribbean's Great Blue Hole. I'm also a God loving Christian. |

If I'm not careful, I'm going to die of old age B4 I get all this straightened out.
I'm inclined to put the gentoo Live DVD(one from 2012)I've been using or a system rescue CD 3.8.0 or a knoppix 7.2.0 DVD, reformat to recommendations and move forward with this project.
My wife thinks I've almost lost my mind dicking around with this box
Thoughts?

needlern,
Fix it, don't reinstall. Its only your kernel that is broken. Reinstalling is a bad habit you picked up from some other binary operating system.
Reinstalling won't help your kernel and you may mess up something else. _________________ Regards,

I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to this post and your posts. Daily life and my house is claiming an inordinate amount of my time.
I have reached the point where I've chrooted back in and have stalled at/with this point:
[code]chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
Gentoo-20121221 / # source /etc/profile
Gentoo-20121221 / # export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
(chroot) Gentoo-20121221 / # eselect kernel set linux-3.12.21-gentoo-r1
!!! Error: Target "linux-3.12.21-gentoo-r1" doesn't appear to be valid!
exiting
(chroot) Gentoo-20121221 / #
What's next?
