Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo failed to start

Hi Richard and folks,

Further to my late posting, tried again still failed.  Steps performed
as follows;

After activating lv, vg, mounting device, partitions, etc.;

# cd /mnt/gentoo
# mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
# mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
# chroot ./ ./bin/bash
All w/o complaint

# env-update
-/bin/bash:env-update:command not found

ignoring the above complaint and continued:
# source /etc/profile
# export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
both w/o complaint

Edited /etc/fstab as follows;
/dev/hda1  /boot ext2  defaults,noatime  1 2
/dev/hda2  /  ext3  noatime  0 1
/dev/hda3  /  swap  sw  0 0

/dev/vg/usr  /usr  ext3  noatime  0 1
/dev/vg/home  /home  ext3  noatime  0 1
/dev/vg/opt  /opt  ext3  noatime  0 1
/dev/vg/var  /var  ext3  noatime  0 1
/dev/vg/tmp  /tmp  ext3  noatime  0 1

/proc  proc  default  0 0
/dev/shm  tmpfs  nodev,nosuid,noexec  0 0

/dev/cdrom  /mnt/cdrom  auto  noauto,user  0 0
/dev/cdrom1  /mnt/cdwriter  auto  noauto,user  0 0
* end *


Ran
# grep -v rootfs /proc/mounts > /etc/fstab
No complaint


Exited chroot and umounted all devices and partitions.  Rebooted PC.

Still failed, only a black screen with 2 "!" scatering on it.  Neither
"grub>" displayed.

Tks
