I just tried following the Gentoo/PPC installation instructions from the handbook, and here's a minor inconsistancy that should be fixed. In the yabootconfig section, it should say that yabootconfig should be run OUTSIDE of the chroot with the --chroot parameter. eg: exit # to exit chroot yabootconfig --chroot /mnt/gentoo chroot /mnt/gentoo # get back into chroot technically, i think this is because yabootconfig is just a shell script that runs "df", however, that doesn't work under a chroot, which yabootconfig error rightly says so. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Lars, can I get a second vote here? I'm no PPC guy so I'd rather have it confirmed. No offence Alastair :)
I'll look in it.
Usually yabootconfig works also inside a chroot. But when I remember right, it needs /dev in the chroot. Am I right, that all bind-mounts of /dev are now out of the handbook? Probably this causes yabootconfig to exit. Yeah, I know, it's a crap if it really needs /dev to be bind mounted... Sorry, I don't have a spare PPC-machine for testing (or even some free space :( ). So I can't be sure about my comments on the installation instructions.
yes, thats right, the instructions in the handbook don't talk about binding /dev any more, which is probably why df isn't working.
Edited the handbook so that /dev will be bind-mounted.
