The image installation seems to work fine. But I just forgot to set the root password and the management robot is now offline until 01:00 :(( In the next step (if the bot's back again) I'll try to boot the debian image's kernel with gentoo's rootfs from the second disk. That should isolate the problem to either Gentoo config or the (meanwhile overwritten) bootloader/kernel. BTW: I've tried to start some services within the sysroot, but that tried to mount/check the rootfs and of course failed :( Should I trick init.d to think these services were already started ? cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
