I wonder if it is a bug or something in the CD you booted? I recently
booted systemrescue CD and it worked fine but I didn't try to install
grub. I think I used Knoppix for my install. About any of those should
work tho.


The only thing I can think of is some difference in the file system
utilities, kernel the CD uses or something like that. Maybe someone
will come along with more ideas. Whatever it is, we do need to figure
it out. If it is some sort of bug, it needs to be fixed.

Dale,

You might be on to something here.

Jacques, which CD did you boot from? And where did you get the ISO from?

I tend to use the ISO-images from gentoo.org and haven't noticed this issue
myself before.

and latest portage*.tar.bz2 from French Gentoo mirror.

For next time you want to chroot:

First mount /dev/sdaX /mnt gentoo and then mount /proc and /dev just
like the manual says.

After that mount all the other partitions.

You would not have a problem with /boot.

This is because /proc contains info on environment variables and
devices mounted, hardware configuration, etc Without it the kernel
functionality is not complete and errors will show up sooner or later.
Ditto with /dev.
