Yes, run lspci as root and it will spit out what you have. Your motherboard manual may also give the information.

what do you have in grub.conf? That looks like the right idea to me too. root(0,0) is not what should be in your boot loader. -- i think it is root(4,0) root=hd(4,3) -- /** * Love in Gentoo-Linux C and Python * Look at my blog * http://poorc.wordpress.com **/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Cannot open root device hde4 or uknown-block(0,0)
Hi, I've just installed Gentoo alongside XP. /dev/hde is my main harddrive. I'm getting the error VFS: Cannot open root device hde4 or uknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct root= boot option Kernel panic.. Any idea why this is? Maybe this info will help It's a 120 Gig harddrive /dev/hde1 is 20 Gigs, for Windows /dev/hde2 is 32 Megs, for /boot /dev/hde3 is 512 Megs, for swap /dev/hde4 is the rest of the harddrive, for / Any ideas?
