Back to Gentoo. And battling my own errors...
LOL
Perhaps I shouldn't have written that :)
I have a problem, I can't do "ls /" as that produces the error: ls: .: Permission denied
I can however, cd to the root directory and I can list all other directories (that I've tried anyway). So I got the "brilliant" idea of adding "user" to the root directory in fstab.
For those with similar inclinations I can now, from my own hard earned experience, tell you: don't. It is *not* a good idea! The box won't boot...
I got "cannot execute /sbin/agetty" and "Id "cN" respawning too fast" (where N is number 1-6) and the boot process is stuck. Not even ctrl-alt-delete works.
BUT, the problem remains: how do I fix ls-right to the root? My fstab look OK
/dev/hda1 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda3 /home ext3 noatime 0 2
/dev/hda4 /stuff reiserfs noatime 0 2
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec $
I did a search on the forums, but haven't found anything really relevant.
