I am installing Gentoo on my AMD64 server. I compiled the gentoo-dev-sources kernel (2.6.0test9).
On attempting to boot off the hard drive I am getting errors and it is locking up.
System:
Arima RioWorks HDAMA motherboard, 2 240 Opterons, Promise FT S150 SATA Raid (on board), 4 SATA drives, 4gb ram.
/etc/fstab #Leaving out all the comments /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1 /dev/sda2 / reiserfs noatime,defaults 0 0 /dev/sda3 /home reiserfs noatime 0 0 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0
I have also tried: proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 on the last line as it is in my desktop fstab. But no success with it either.
Below is my boot screen.
*Mounting proc at /proc ... OK
*Mounting sysfs at /sys ...
can't create lock file /etc/mtab~83: Read-only file system (use -n flag to override)
...and it continues OK until
*Mounting local filesystems ...
here it locks up.
The first time I tried to boot it off the hard drive it couldn't mount sysfs because of no /sys directory. One of the messages in the forum said to mkdir /sys. I did that and the error message changed but still no successful boot.
I've tried to search the forums and have not found anything to help.
I have other issues I posted to the forum.
But no replies. Is there a better mailing list for specifically Gentoo AMD64 problems? I posted this one here because I don't know it is specifically AMD64.
Any help greatly appreciated.
