Hi Chris,
I’m a newbie on Linodes, I’ve tried to boot the 2005.0 profile but it crashes at the beginning.
I post here the output from the remote console:

filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:

Since it’s the first time i set up the linode, I don’t know if i missed something 🙂 can you check it?
thanks & cheers!

Ok, give me a few minutes and I’ll have that fixed.
-Chris
Wow! That’s what we call a fast reply 🙂
many thanx, I’ll wait for the fix
byte
Fixed. Please delete that image and re-deploy 🙂
Gentoo ignores its own startup kernel arguments (noudev nodevfs). Go figure.
-Chris
I supposed it was something related to udev/devfs as I saw the line:
[code]* Mounting devfs at /dev… [ ok ] [/code]
But I’m not used to UML so i didn’t knew if it was generating the prob.
Many thanks chris!
[quote:5901b44f33=”warp3r”]Many thanks chris![/quote]
Don’t thank me yet. Another fix in a few minutes…
-Chris
Redeploy once more — you should be set. Had to fix the remote console that time.
-Chris
Ok … 😛 Just in case i’ll shut down the linode and start redeploying tomorrow morning 🙂
its 1 AM in spain and tomorrow i’ve to wake up early…
see you!
I was also trying out 2005.0 and here’s as far as the boot process got:

Did you delete and re-deploy the fixed template image? If not, which host are you on?
Thanks,
-Chris
I just did a complete redeploy and changed the profile to use the latest 2.6 kernel and all is well.
Thanks for your support.
I think I missed something,
I redeployed twice and I have another issue now.
When it boots it does not do it completely, it freezes at the end and says:
[code] * Starting sshd… [ ok ]
* Starting local… [ ok ]
INIT: Id "c0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel
[/code]
Then I can’t log in via ssh directly to the linode, neither using host20 LISH, as I don’t have any user prompt.
I use the 2005.0 Image and the latest 2.6.10 kernel available on configuration profile, did I forget to do something?
cheers

ok, forget it, it works…
sorry for any inconvenience

I’m doing the same thing as you with the 2005.0 image and latest 2.6 kernel and I’m also seeing the respawning too fast messages in my console.
I’m unsure if I should worry about the message tho. Should I? 🙂

If you guys deployed the distro before last evening when I fixed it, you have two options:
1. Redeploy the image. It should not have this problem.
2. Edit /etc/inittab, change “tty0” to “vc/0”. Add “vc/0” to /etc/securetty. Then run “init q” as root.
-Chris
Perfect now 🙂
sorry for the delay, didn’t checked the forum ’til today
thx for your support

I just deployed a new 2005 image and i’m unable to boot it, it gets stalled here with that same problem
* Mounting network filesystems… [ ok ]
* Starting sshd… [ ok ]
* Starting local… [ ok ]

I am using the “older” Gentoo install, and keep my setup uptodate with fairly regular emerges, so all my packages are new versions.
I think my kernel is linux-2.4.26.
Would upgrading to this image make any sense to me? I know that it has a more recent kernel, but are there other advantages or disadvantages?
Would I have to totally backup my current setup offline, install the image, and restore my programs and data, or would my currently compiled programs have trouble running?
Kernels can be selected independently of the distro/version – edit your configuration profile(s) in the Linode Platform Manager.
If you tell emerge to update your current system you will be invited to upgrade your Gentoo profile if necessary – that is as good as a new install.
Do not restore programs from your current system to a new install – you will may end up linking against the wrong library versions and chaos and madness will follow.

Just change your profile. There’s a doc on gentoo’s site about how to upgrade your profile.
Just to say that the “INIT: Id “c0″ respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes” thing is still there. I’ve changed this and works:
2. Edit /etc/inittab, change “tty0” to “vc/0”. Add “vc/0” to /etc/securetty. Then run “init q” as root.
