After one successful install on another system with the same liveCD, I tried a second install on this system. Me I am a newbie to Gentoo, but experienced to Linux since 1988? 1989? with different distributions. after booting up the cd and after created filesystems (ext2 or ext3) short time after 'mount /dev/hdb5 /mnt' and pinning 'ls -l /mnt' I get 'command not found' Ten seconds later: '/usr/sbin/spind: line 10: /bin/sleep: No such file or directory. This repeats forever on this console. After Change to another one with Alt-F2 no command is recognized. "Command not found" Medium: livecd-i686-installer-2008.0_beta1.iso System: AMD Athlon XP 2000+ Harddisk /dev/hda WDC WD400EB ATA DISK /dev/hdb SAMSUNG SP2514N ATA DISK Mem: 514MB Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot up LiveCD 2. Make filesystem on harddisk (ext2 or ext3) 3. mount with: mount /dev/hd[abc][1234] /mnt and type something. You get (ls for example): command not found and after a short time the failure described above. Actual Results: no installation possible on this system Expected Results: repeating line with content described. after mounting I would have copied the install-files to this filesystem
my error: please forgive me. if I mount a device over my existing system, then the message: command not found is correct. After mounting on /mnt/gentoo and not /mnt the system runs smoothly so far. Please delete this bugmessage! thanks
