Problem Installing Gentoo. (Partioning Problem)
I've been trying to install gentoo for the past two hours. I get past everything up to making the /dev/hda3 root partion. here's what i do and get:
in fdisk i already create the other partions... now heres what i type at the fdisk command: n p 3 <enter> <enter> p get all the partions fine from p command now i type w to exit it and get the following error: Warring: Re-reading the partion table failed with error 16: Device or Resource Busy........... i cant create a filesystem for hda3 mke2fs -j /dev/hda3 help guys.. im stuck on this ;) |
sorry to rush you guys but this is urgent..... ;)
|
you may have better luck with cfdisk, although I do not think that is the peoblem. Cfdisk is very easy to use, It will just take you a couple of minutes.
I am not sure what that error is about. |
no, thats not the problem... i did use it and it is much easier.... the problem i figured out is that for some reason it can't re-read the partition table (perhaps its not writting it properly??).... it wants me to reboot but that will rewen the install
|
I rebooted and fixed the problem.
Thanks for helping guys. ;) |
