[gentoo-dev] 1.0_rc3 -> 1.0_rc4-pre2 update

[gentoo-dev] 1.0_rc3 -> 1.0_rc4-pre2 update

[drobbins]

Hi All,

Apologies for the problems everyone has been having with 1.0_rc3.  I'm going to
remove it from ibiblio.org.  Also, I need to fix the 1.0_rc4-pre2 CD; the
problem is due to a single text file missing on the CD that the CD detector
uses to determine if it's really the Gentoo Linux CD.  I'll post a message here
when the CD has been fixed.

For those who have already downloaded. I attached a modified initdisk.gz to that
mail.
Just dd the bootgrub.img from the cd (/images) to a floppy, mount that floppy and
replace
initdisk.gz in the /boot subdir of the floppy whith the one attached.
This includes a patched linuxrc that does not test if the cd is a valid gentoo-cd.

(Murthy you must replace this on the image I send you too)

Achim, thanks for the update.  I got through most of the install and was
hoping to report success, but my boot partition was corrupted on reboot so
the boot process halts on a kernel panic.  Since this seems to mean I'll be
starting over (I will save my modifications in /etc), I'm going to get the
updated rc4_pre2.  Achim and Daniel, could you make sure that the update
includes Achim's new initdisk.gz (the images folder in rc4_pre2 seems not to
have been updated, so I'm wondering if the ISO has).

Thanks, Murthy

The bootimage works normaly. The only thing I changed was, that I commented out
the test in the linuxrc program,
that tries to read a file called version on the cd. This file did not exist in
the first iso. Now it is in there. So there is
definately no need to download 640MB again. Why don't you use the bootcd to
restore your boot partition? e2fsck and reiserfsck are included.

Can someone please email me the replacement initdisk.gz I downloaded the bad
iso last night, and just got on the mailing list today and I missed the
original email with it attached, and I don't really want to redownload it
all tonight so I'd love if one of you could email it ;)  Thanks.

Hi, 

the diffrent initdisk.gz was only used because of the missing
'version' file in the root of the old rc4_pre2.

Have fun
