hi,

i have this problem on my laptop, im currently installing gentoo, but i'm stuck at the end. I misconfigured my fstab file where my partitions are defined so now it wont boot my system. I know what to change in the file, the problem is i can't reach it to change it, when it gives me some root privilige on a 'temporary'? system and when i change the fstab file with nano he said i dont have enough rights to change it. also tried a bit with chmod but didnt work too.

Maybe i have to change it with the livecd or something, i don't know.
Would be glad if someone gave a solution.

Most distro's first disk have a "rescue" mode in which you can get a console, and mount the hd

If you have like mepis boot with it log in as root and mount the drive where gentoo resides and change it that way. If you don't have mepis or? (this would make it real easy) just use the gentoo install cd and chroot back into it.

The best way is to boot from the gentoo CD, mount the partitions, chroot into /mnt/gentoo, and adjust fstab as needed. Well, if it's just fstab, then you don't even need to chroot. But for lilo/grub/portage issues, you would need to.

ok ive got over this one, now it gets stuck at loading my pcmcia driver at the startup. I put it in as default but i cant get rid of it. i tried rc-update del pcmcia default but it sais it cant find any pcmcia module or something. I also deleted the pcmcia folder in /etc/init.d/ but no result. My pc hangs there and i cant go any further. plz help me out, thanks

Add your pcmcia module to

/etc/hotplug/blacklist then try again
