The hybrid mode is not available on all bioses, make sure your system allows booting from a usb device.ArneBab wrote:Hi,
I just tried to boot a PowerBook (intel) with the USB stick, but it didn't see the stick (in the boot volume menu I reached by pressing alt during boot). How can I get it to boot from the stick?

so I need to emerge gentoo-sources and make menuconfig? I've built kernels before, but just wanted to make sure this is what i need to do.

I've yet to get my stinking bcm4312 to work right but that's another thread that i haven't started... Still just learning how the nix world rolls as compared to the Windows world which my friends and co-workers agree I'm a somewhat a guru.
So forgive any ignorance
Code: Select all
# emerge genkernel
# genkernel --menuconfig all
The livedvd is read-only for a number of reasons but the biggest is that squashfs setup in genkernel is read-only and the old unionfs method is broken. I will be working on a patch for gentoo-sources and genkernel to include aufs support so that you can use portage on all the release media.linked67 wrote: I have copied the livedvd on a liveusb with: dd if=.... of=....
I want to use emerge but the system is mounted in read only. How can i change this ?

Just to rule out horses, did you verify the checksums?leoha wrote:>>copying read-write image contents of tmpfs

You are not doing anything wrong. Which iso ?ottembomb wrote:Downloaded the .iso last night and am able to boot OK... but i've several problems.
1) resolution through default X session reports as 1440x900 - monitor reports as 1280x1024 - 2nd monitor not detected at all
2) absolutely no networking support - net-setup eth0 / eth1 returns no errors, but ifconfig lists only net.lo
3) so I try to modprobe the forcedeth module for my 780i mobo and get this error "FATAL: Error inserting forcedeth (/lib/modules/2.6.30-gentoo-r5/kernel/drivers/net/forcedeth.ko): Invalid module format.
Out of curiosity, I try various modules of all sorts, networking and otherwirse - all return the invalid module format ...
what'm i doing wrong?
Thanks for the Info! I'll try it with a DVD once I get back there (in two weeks or so).likewhoa wrote:The hybrid mode is not available on all bioses, make sure your system allows booting from a usb device.

If it is the livedvd-amd64-multilib-10.0.iso and you downloaded this because you have a 64 bit machine there is a problem with the iso and it is in the process of being updated. In the meantime you can download:
livedvd-x86-amd64-32ul-10.0.iso
and boot with the option gentoo64
