|

So, I basically cp all the files of gentoo on my other drive to gentoo on my new drive but grub did not work as planned. I tried to install grub but got an error that said /lib/grub did not exist. Here are some logs:

Thanks.

Kas,
Exactly how did you copy the files _________________ Good luck
Since installing gentoo, my life has become one long emerge |

First, I mounted both and was like cp -a /mnt/gentoo/old /mnt/gentoo.
Then, a guy in the IRC told me to try to rsync everything so I was like
rsync -av /mnt/gentoo/old/ /mnt/gentoo
--I don't exactly remember where the / were.
I first actually ran the rsync command with --progress but then it ran for like 4 hours so i ctrl-c it and ran it without progress.
Anyway, it doesn't matter because grub still won't emerge. I think I should just install new since it would probably just be faster to do that anyway but I'm not sure.
Thanks. |

Kas_,
What profile are you using?
You cannot use grub on /no-multilib as grub is a 32 bit program. On /no-multilib you must use grub-static and to run grub-static, to install it to the MBR, your kernel needs to support 32 bit binaries.
--- edit ---
Code: | Portage 2.1.11.55 (default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop .... |
Forget it, that's a multilib profile _________________ Regards,

I'm using default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop
lol, nvm. So should I just install it like normal? If i do that, do I need to delete all the stuff on the drive first? |

Kas_,
Just fix grub. There is no need to reinstall everything.
Does your kernel have support for running 32 bit binaries?
Code: | checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... (cached) x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -m32
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking for suffix of executables...
checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/var/tmp/portage/sys-boot/grub-0.97-r12/work/grub-0.97':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. |
The test program was compiled but could not be run. We need to Code: | See `config.log' for more details |
Can you post that log file?
Its in /var/tmp/portage/sys-boot/grub-0.97-r12/... somewhere _________________ Regards,

That's kinda unfortunate...I already did re-install everything.
But thanks for helping.
--edit--
actually. there's more of a problem than that. I did re-install but grub but I have this same problem as this guy. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-828186-start-0.html |
