[gentoo-user] Unable to mount root fs on uknown - block (0,0)
Hello, I can't find the reason of the problem. I installed newly gentoo 2006.0 (Kernel version 2.6.17) and after reboot I'm having kernel panic with message: --- VFS: Cannot open root device hda5 or uknown block (0,0) Please append a correct root boot option Kernek panic - not syncing In grub root boot option is: root=/dev/hda5 - this partition is logical and type is ext3... What can be wrong? thanks, askar -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I have the exact same problem, and have tried on this already for so long. After a while I just took a kernel config of a fedora box I have (2.6.17) and used that config and it worked straight away. Now I am in the process of removing stuff from and trying out, but its quite frankly pain in the butt, since all obvious option like in-build fs-driver, IDE/ATA support etc... but it does not work. Anyway, it would be great if someone could post her/his config for 2.6.17 to take as template. I can also later on post the two different configs or their diff so someone can have a look on what is different. greets, KArsten -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It's interesting for me, what the other people do when they install Gentoo 2006.0??? What should I do know??? Install Fedora and copy kernel config file from it? Very sad...

I was sad too, not being able to find the reason. So I just took the config file that was there anyway, on this other box. No install. Not anything especially uncool, just an attempt to solve a problem on my own. k -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I don't know... It seems you and I had different problems. As I solved mine with enabling GENERIC IDE SUPPORT. Recompiled kernel and reboot. Now it's fine...

I seriously doubt that this would help you very much, because my kernel configurations are very closely tied to my hardware. FEX on my laptop I have to build IDE support as a module, or not at all, or it tries to take control of my DVD-RW drive (PATA drive controlled by a SATA chip), and then I get terrible performance from it. However, if you want to post the output of lspci, cat /proc/cpuinfo, mount, and grep =[ym] .config, someone might be able to point you in the right direction. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

When I first install gentoo, I chose the stage1 tarball methods just becuase I wanted to be forced to learn ever step. It took me about a week of re=reading the docs and re-configuring the install until I learned how to get everything to work the way I wanted. If you really want to learn how to configure new kernels, the menuconfig has imbedded help docs for each parameter. If you are curious about any options just read up on them. I've learned alot this way, and each time a new kernel sources is released it gives you another opertunity to increase your experience and knowledge with you configure these new kernels.
