So I've read. > yes you need > a) proc from outside the chroot or maybe it's enough from inside > mount /proc /chroot/proc -t proc I mounted it from the inside, which seems to work. > b) the devices from inside the chroot > /etc/init.d/udev start This doesn't work: # /etc/init.d/udev start /lib/lsb/init-functions: line 130: /dev/null: Permission denied udev requires a mounted sysfs, not started. /lib/lsb/init-functions: line 130: /dev/null: Permission denied failed! so I did: # mount /sys -t sysfs AFter that, I get: # /etc/init.d/udev start It has been detected that the command /etc/init.d/udev has been run from an interactive shell. It will probably not do what you expect, so this script will wait 60 seconds before continuing. Press ^C to stop it. RUNNING THIS COMMAND IS HIGHLY DISCOURAGED! So, to be sure I'm asking: are you REALLY sure?? > now run lilo I tried running lilo without the udev stuff, but that clearly didn't work:: # lilo /proc/misc: No entry for device-mapper found Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel? /dev/mapper/control: open failed: Permission denied Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver. /proc/misc: No entry for device-mapper found Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel? /dev/mapper/control: open failed: Permission denied Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver. Incompatible libdevmapper 1.01.04 (2005-08-02)(compat) and kernel driver Fatal: open /dev/hda: Permission denied > if lilo doesn't work out for you use from knoppix (adapt to your device) > grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/hda1 /dev/hda I'll first try with lilo if you can confirm that I should indeed run udev as you said, ignoring the very strong warning. -- Grtjs, Manuel PS: http://manuel.msxnet.org/
