umount problem

[Guest]

Hi guys,
Doing gentoo install
I have just left the chroot env and am trying to umount all before rebooting.However umount gentoo gives an error saying
umount: /mnt/gentoo device busy

any ideas here?
Thanks.

have you unmounted any other things that may have been mounted beneath it? type `mount` at the prompt to find out. likely candidates are /mnt/gentoo/boot /mnt/gentoo/proc and maybe /mnt/gentoo/home. unmount these first if they are still mounted.

the cdrom is running the live cd and i cannot umount it, think that is the problem.

you don't need to unmount the cdrom. rebooting will unmount the cdrom you need to unmount everything under /mnt/gentoo. iirc the cdrom will be mounted at /mnt/cdrom (btw all of these paths apply to directories *outside* of the chrooted environment). you don't need to worry about the cd drive (unless you have two and you've been using both maybe??)
