Hi, I have FC2 and Gentoo installed.

(fd0,0) WinXP
(fd0,1) boot partition
(fd0,2) swap
(fd0,3) extended partition
(fd0,4) gentoo
(fd0,5) fc2

Output from 'mount' while in FC2:
/dev/hda6 on / type reiserfs (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hda5 on /gentoo type reiserfs (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
/dev/hda2 on /boot type ext2 (rw)

While in FC2, gentoo is mounted to /gentoo. Just as I did with the Knoppix CD, I would like to chroot to the gentoo partition. So,

mount -o bind /proc /gentoo/proc
chroot /gentoo /bin/bash

When I do this, I get the following error:

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: rtld.c: 1173: dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!

Even if I don't do the /proc mount, I still get this error. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Can it be fixed...if so, how? Let me know if you need more information.

Also, while I am at it....in grub, my repeat rate for keystrokes is super fast. Thus, even normal keystrokes will often result with some letter being displayed many times. This is not an issue after an OS has loaded...it is only an issue while in GRUB. How can this be resolved?

im not positive, but i think your ld.so problems are occurring
because you have different libraries on the two different systems
when I chroot into my Linux from Scratch setup, I have to also
clear my current path and add the new path, using this command:

chroot /tools/lfs /tools/bin/env -i \
HOME=/root TERM=$TERM PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin \
/tools/bin/bash --login

the backslashes on the end of the lines just allow you
to enter multiple lines as one command
the -i option passed to the env command will clear
all variables of the chroot environment...
after this i set only the HOME,TERM,PS1, and PATH variables
the TERM=$TERM sets the TERM variable inside the chroot
environment to the same value as outside chroot...this is needed
for programs like vi and less to work properly

of course you will need to change the dirs to match your system

this command and the description was taken from the Linux From Scratch
manual, ver 5.0, chapter 6

Thanks for the response. I gave that a try.

chroot /gentoo /usr/bin/env -i \
HOME=/root TERM=$TERM PS1='\u:\w\$' \
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin /bin/bash --login

Here is the output:
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: rtld.c: 1173: dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!

So, that doesn't seem to fix it.

From the gentoo Alternative Installation guide, I found the following command being used when trying to install gentoo from an existing install of linux:

env -i /usr/sbin/chroot /gentoo /bin/bash

Trying this command gives this output:
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: rtld.c: 1173: dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!

...which is the same.

Any other ideas?

i have teh same problem.. after i upgraded from fedora core 1 to core 2

i had updated rh9 to fedora core 1 earlier .. then while playing a game x-server got messed up.. and i keep getting an error message like "x spawning too fast.. disabling for 5 minutes" .. so i decided to upgrade to fedora core 2 instead of installing core 1 again

i think its architecture problem .. i am not sure though (i am sort of a novice at linux admin)

my other partition (where i want to install gentoo) was mounted on /d so i did:

if someone finds a solution pls let me know .. coz i cant live without hardware rendering (which fedora doesnt have) plus gentoo has a great portage system : D

EDIT:

i found the answer to the problem .. i was using gnome when the error occurred. but when i used the failsafe terminal, everything went right : ) .. and i got no error when i did /usr/sbin/chroot
