Hi all Just wanted to install Gentoo 1.4_rc1 from the 1.4_rc1 install-cd. I wanted to install it on a hard-disc which consists of 2 60 gb harddrives which are striped through my promise ide-raid-controller. now this is no problem at all, i booted from the cd, inserted the ataraid module and afterwards the pdcraid-module. now this is the point, the syslog sais that this module wants to write to /lib/devdir (uhh.. what was the name?) or something, which isn't possible, becaure /lib is mounted from the cd, read-only (of course). so the module couldn't be inserted and i couldn't install... i fixed this by booting from my old Gentoo 1.2 install-cd, which works fine (it doesn't want to write /lib/devsomething), and everything worked fine. although i won't need it anymore, it cost me about 4 hours to get this damn raid working, if this could be fixed other people won't need to spend so much time on it ;-) stephan
I need more information than "/lib/devdir (uh...)" Do you have specifics?
Closing due to lack of response/vague bug report.
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
