I adding this that it is very high needed a respons and help on it, as I have no good normal Internet connection, then that when this gentoo not is running is all other networking gone and the gentoo pc do all the internet connection out to the world and to my others computers, it need the 2 files in /dev to work and I can not get on to make any emerge fetch by internet and the pc will not compile any thing if this pc not have gentoo running. The missinhg things have to be there as /dev/console and /dev/null and only null is been found. The livecd is a minimal livecd 32-bit x86 cd and do not have all the portage and sources on it. OK, this is a configuration issue and not an actual kernel bug. Marking RESO/INVALID. That said, what you need to do to fix it is create the missing devnodes on your system's /dev. You can do this by: 1- Booting the livecd 2- Mounting your root partition to /mnt/gentoo 3- cd /mnt/gentoo/dev 4- run 'ls' to see what's there; you need 'console', 'zero', and 'null'. For whichever ones are missing, run the appropriate line below: mknod console c 5 1 mknod zero c 1 5 mknod null c 1 3 5- cd /; umount /mnt/gentoo; reboot This should get you past the issue you are having. Now, your message seems a little confusing in relation to how you built your kernel and/or if you are using (or no longer using) an initramfs file? If the above does not work for you then please join us on IRC in "#gentoo" on irc.freenode.org and we can help you more. |
