I just re-installed Gentoo1.4rc2 after having installed EvilEntity last week. I had to re-install to upgrade Gentoo from 1.2 to 1.4 since the gcc had changed.
The problem is that the Gentoo partition is invisible from the other distro's partitions even when mounted. I can see the EvilEntity in Redhat and I can see Redhat in EvilEntity. I can see WinXp in both. When I run "mount /dev/hdb6 /mnt/Gentoo" it says it is already mounted. And the Webadmin in EvilEntity shows it being mounted. But nothing shows up under /mnt/Gentoo. I have tried "ls -a" from that directory also. I have installed EvilEntity with a reiserfs file system and RedHat uses ext3.
My etc/fstab in RedHat is configured this way to mount the partitions:
/dev/hdb5 /mnt/EvilEntity reiserfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb6 /mnt/Gentoo reiserfs defaults 0 0
I think it may be a permission thing and have chmod 'd the /mnt/Gentoo partition. But the thing is, it is invisible even when I'm root. Gentoo will show the other two partitions. I have checked Gentoo forums, searched the JustLinux forums, Googled, and even read the manual. No luck so far.

AFAIK the only difference between releases is the installation process. The system get's updated through emerge world..
Am I wrong here?

From 1.2 to 1.4 there were a lot of major updates to core components of the system, the upgrade path is quite a tricky one.
hardlythere: what do you get when you type "mount"? |

I'm in the process of re-installing now. When I would type "mount /dev/hdb6 /mnt/gentoo" the response was ".....already mounted or device is busy". I figure it was something with the permissions set when I first configured my installation. So I'm reinstalling since I wanted to add some modules and some of the use flags I left out before anyway.
Thanks for the responses>  |
