Hi Jarry and folks, Tks for your advice.
Booting with a LiveCD: My problem booting with Knoppix5 is it does not support LVM, vgscan, vgchange, etc. not available. I can only boot with "Gentoo install-amd64-minimal-2006.0" After activating lv, mounting all devices, etc., coming to; # mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev # env-update -/bin/bash:env-update:command not found. It did happen in my previous rounds. Other command such as "emerge" also found missing compelling me to wipe out the HD and to start again. Any suggestion. TIA Another problem I forgot to mention in my previous posting is; /lib/modules was missing # ls -al /lib | grep modules did not find it. Problem about switching consoles. After "chroot" I can't read online manual. Therefore I have to press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+F2 switching to another console. (I suppose the working console is [Ctrl]+[Alt]+F4). But after switching back to the working console all the work disappeared. It did happen occassionally but not always. Any advice? TIA. B.R.
