Subject: [gentoo-user] Output of "mount" and "cat /etc/mtab" inside install chroot?
Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2014 07:43:18 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140419114318.GC1084@waltdnes.org> (raw)
I've got another thread going called...
"Strange behaviour with LILO on new install on old laptop". Before I
file a bug report, I want to check first whether it's my fault. Can
people here do me a favour? If you have a Gentoo install CD or USB key
handy, and are willing to reboot, can you please do the following...
1) boot from the install ISO
2) chroot to a running environment
3) list the output from the 2 commands
mount
cat /etc/mtab
I'm getting absolutely no output at all from those 2 commands in the
install chroot. That screws up the lilo ebuild install process. I want
to check whether blank /etc/mtab is my fault or not.
