Re: [gentoo-user] Re: still can't boot

[Larry Schuler]

Try a fresher set of livecd & stage files. I was having this exact same 
problem on a new install last week with the experimental 2004 livecd set 
dated 1/23/04. I finally decided to start over when the newer files from 
1/28/04 were released, and now the machine boots up fine. I never did 
find out exactly why it was doing the rebooting.

Hi,

I still can't boot into my new gentoo system. I tried several kernels, 
and several configurations, but I still have the same problem: at the 
end of the execution of /linuxrc, the machine reboots.
Though I get some error messages about /linuxrc not finding "test", I 
don't think that's the problem. It seems the machine reboots after doing 
"exec /sbin/init". I tried running /sbin/init from the shell (which I 
can enter if I don't specify the real_root argument), and it said it 
can't write channel /dev/initctl (or something similar). I don't know 
what else to try.
     

Are you using genkernel? If so, try and see if configuring your own kernel
would work.
   

I do use genkernel, but with the menuconfig option. Since I have no idea 
what the problem is, I don't know exactly what to configure there. I did 
follow the instructions in the genkernel README file. I also tried both 
my architecture (Duron) and i386.
I currently suspect that the problem is with /sbin/init rather than the 
kernel, but still, I have no idea where it comes from.

Thanks,
Moshe
 

Please help!
