Hi, since my old Gentoo installation seems to be screwed up (regarding the update process) beyond repair I decided to install a new one instead of waiting for help.
I already made space at a certain of my harddisk and installed the stage3 there. Chrooting is one of the first steps to check, whether what I have done so is valid. But before deleting the old root and install the new one at its place I would like to do a atmost identical boot into the new root. As far as I know the kernel only allows to boot into a partition (instead of a directory on a partition containing the root installation) and I am still using devices to boot from instead of GPT. Is there any neat trick to do a real boot into the new root via the normal boot process (grub2) nevertheless ? Cheers Meino
