Hello Group, I spend a whole day trying to get this to work. Here is my
setup
/dev/sda1 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda2 swap
grub is installed using the 'root (hd0,0)' and 'setup (hd0)', no problem.
emerge kernel-sources worked fine.
However everytime the system boots, it reports the VFS panic (no root
system found problem). The kernel has built in ext2 and ext3 support.
The error hint is to supply root option during boot, but my boot command
is this
kernel /boot/kernel root=/dev/sda1
Is there something missing that I didn't think of that's causing the
failures? I followed the steps outlined here:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml
except I am using a 2 partition setup.
Fei
