Installing linux_base-f10

[Nippler]

I use portmaster to install linux_base-f10, and then it shows

pkg_create: couldn't resolve path for prefix: /compat/linux: No such file or directory
***[do-package]

Does it mean that I have to manually create that file?

My FreeBSD version is 9.1-RELEASE.

Have you enabled the Linux binary compatibility? Seems that you forgot to do that at first

It's not a file, it's a directory. It's where all the Linux binaries are kept and it should be created by the port if it doesn't exist.

kldload linux

I've tried and:

kldload: can't load linux: File exists

I've read this http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=13583, but still don't know what to do next.

I've tried, and got this error:

kldload: can't load linux: File exists

I've read http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=13583, and this is what I got by kidstat -v | grep lin:

                 2 linuxaout

Then, what should I do to install linux_base-f10?

Add this couples of lines in /etc/fstab

proc		/proc		procfs	rw	0	0
linproc 	/compat/linux/proc	linprocfs	rw	0	0

Finally, reboot(8)() your machine.

How about just mount /proc followed by mount /compat/linux/proc as root after editing /etc/fstab instead of mindlessly rebooting?

Hi, cpu82

After rebooting, it shows:

Mounting local file system:mount: /compat: No such file or directory.
Mounting /etc/fstab filesystem failed, startup aborted
ERROR: ABORTING BOOT (sending SIGTERM to parent)!
init: /bin/sh on etc/rc terminated abnormally,going to single user mode
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for :/bin/sh

After the command fsck -y, and reboot again, it still shows Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for:/bin/sh.

These are command I've done:

#mount -a
mount: /compat: No such fjile or directory
#df -h
Filesystem    Size   Used  Avail   Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ada0p2   18G    10k    6.8G    60%        /
devfs         1.0k   1.0k     0B   100%        /dev
procfs        4.0k   4.0k     0B   100%        /proc

What should I do to startup?

 

[cpm@]

Try to create manually /compat/linux/proc directory as following # mkdir -p /compat/linux/proc

My problem is solved. Anyone help me mark this topic "solved"?
