Everytime a new version of Gentoo is released, I like to make a new disk image based on it. This is because I create images for different purposes, like a cross-compiler. I have been trying to install the latest release 2005.0, which goes as planned until I have to reboot and actually boot from the new image. When it goes to check the root filesystem it complains about a bad superblock and goes into maintainence mode. I have checked the disk image under another disk image and it appears to be fine. I have also used a different program to make the disk images to see if that was the problem, but still no luck. I am beginning to wonder if it is caused by a change in the way the distro populates /dev, my current working installation appears to use devfsd while the new version appears to use udev. I have built a version of LFS6.0 which uses udev with no problems at all. I am using 0.6.2-pre6 (Oct24 snapshot) because I have had problems with the speed of 0.6.2. I have not tried any of the latest 2.6.11 based autobuilds, mainly because I don't see why 2.6.11 should have so many revisions ie 2.6.11.5. Has anyone been able to perform a working installation of 2005.0 from the stage3 tarball? |
