 |
|
Hi There,
i am relatively new to gentoo. Although I already managed to install gento. Now something strange happens.
I follow the gentoo handbook. And up to the moment I
| Code: | | emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse @world |
All is fine.
After, when I want to set and choose the timezone, I cannot alter any file anymore.
It states, that the disk is read only.
I use the 17.0 profile
| Code: | | [12] default/linux/amd64/17.0 (stable) * |
And here is my make.conf:
make.conf
| Code: | CFLAGS="-march=nehalem -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
USE="api git ipv6 modules raw smp"
CPU_FLAGS_X86="aes mmx mmxext pclmul popcnt sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 sse4_2 ssse3"
PORTDIR="/usr/portage"
DISTDIR="${PORTDIR}/distfiles"
PKGDIR="${PORTDIR}/packages"
MAKEOPTS="-j17"
|
My system is a dual xeon server board w 32gig and I use a 500 gib wd blue disk.
Obvious I do something wrong, but I cannot figure out what...
Thanks,
Vincent

Do you have the utilities for your filesystem installed? If it can't be checked then the filesystem can remain mounted ro.
Look through dmesg to see if anything pops out.
| Code: | | dmesg --color=always | less |

| Code: | | mount -o remount,rw / |
might get you by enough to install something if you need it. |

Greetings Vincent,
Just making an experienced guess that you may not have mounted a filesystem or chrooted into your build environment properly from the livecd.
Given that the hardware you are using is not uefi bios capable if the cpu type stated in cflags are correct there should be only one type of livecd you could use to install that server recommended by the Gentoo handbook. so with this in mind the possibility of an incorrect or non optimal livecd perhaps shouldn't be an issue.
I own an older i7-920 intel nehalem that runs Gentoo and it will not boot uefi install media such as sysrescuecd.
Not having chrooted into your build environment properly could possibly explain why your unable to edit or modify system environment variables or configuration files.
The gentoo livecd's also provide emerge but i do not think emerge actually is usable to install any software due to a livecd filesystem being unmodifiable.
It can be easy to get confused about whether your working within the chroot build environment or the livecd environment filesystems.
If this is already a booted system that would be good to know.
Best regards,
ali3nx

That could be it too. seems like they want you to update the system running a different kernel and likely no kernel sources.
Sounds like a good plan... |
