GENTOO - "init=/linuxrc" (/linuxrc: not found | kernel panic!!)
I'm finishing up my stage 3 install.. it's so wonderful to see it all start coming together..i hope to do a stage 1 at home once i get more comfortable.. this is on my notebook, that's why i did a stage 3...
anyways.. i have finished setting up grub and everything.. it comes up with both Gentoo and Windows.. and selecting gentoo starts loading the kernel.. then I get errors about /linuxrc not being found and whatnot.. i didn't do anything with that other than add "init=/linuxrc" to the kernel loader in grub.conf i was following the x86-quickinstall guide..and i also looked through the handbook and couldn't figure what i need to do.. someone please help, or point me to the necessary docs.. it's not a big dealto fix becausei can just chroot into it using the liveCD.. i just need to kow if there's something i need to emerge or what? |
What did you write down?Form the handbook
Code:
genkernel all Also you need /dev/ram0 in your kernel line something like this for genkernel; Code:
title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.26-r9 |
here's my grub.conf:
Code:
default 0 x86-quickinstall... which will get a booting system up.. which is all i want.. then I'll do everything else.. |
I would cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig and select * for your filesystem and drives (compile support directly into the kernel and select M for your soundcard and ethernet card and anything else you want then make && make_modules install then make install.The kernel will be vmlinuz then I emerge udev emerge hotplug and emerge coldplug and add them to the default runlevel rc-update add hotplug default then rc-update add coldplug default,that is if you can't get genkernel to boot.I have never used genkernel so can't help much,good luck

I had the same prob, if worse comes to worse try a stage 1, fixed it for me. It isn't hard at all, you just have like 3 more lines of code and one more file to config.

doesn't a stage 1 take like well over a week?? I tried a stage 2 a few months back.. but got too busy with work to keep going.. I spent like 3 days on it...
I don't know, perhaps I will try a stage 1 later... I just really would like to get this working... thanks for the help... |
i fixed it.. the "real_root" section should have been going towards /dev/hda2 rather than hda4...
I am now booted up, and currently compiling Xorg.. thanks for the help guys.. |
