 |
|
so i just updated my world and gentoo sources with it i made every steop to upgrade kernel in this order
| Code: |
eselect kernel list
eselect kernel set x
cd /usr/src/linux
cp ../linux-(old kernel)/.config .
make oldconfig
make prepare
make -j9
make modules_install
make install
genkernel --install initramfs
emerge @module-rebuild
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
reboot
|
and after all that i get stuck after grub-mkconfig part
after writing it in terminel i get this output
| Code: |
insmod: ERROR: could not load module part_msdos: no such file or directory |
i have no idea what to do i tried some googling but without help :/ |

Did you mount /boot before make install?
Here's how I do it (nvidia and vmware modules also need to be built against each kernel)
| Code: | su
eselect kernel list
eselect kernel set 2
mount /boot
cp /usr/src/linux/.config ~/kernel-config-`uname -r`
cd /usr/src/linux
zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config
make syncconfig
make && make modules_install
make install
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
emerge nvidia-drivers
emerge vmware-modules
umount /boot
reboot

I'd say your MBR support is not built into kernel and apparently not available in initramfs. Thus, your kernel cannot read the MBR hard drive.
@Muso, you should use emerge @module-rebuild instead, the way you do it you are polluting your world file.

Instead of emerge nvidia-drivers vmware-modules?
Nice to know, thank you.

Better yet, or perhaps in addition to that, learn when to use --oneshot.

Thank you for that. I haven't read the portage man page in years, --oneshot is a great solution.
