So grub loads abd boots the Linux kernel, but the kernel can't mount the root FS on /dev/sda6. So /dev/sda6 doesn't exist for some reason, which could be one of: 1) There is no /dev/sda6 partition Huh? I just installed gentoo there. 2) You haven't compiled in support for your SATA

Re: [gentoo-user] grub on a SATA drive

2005-11-29 Thread maxim wexler
This means the kernel cannot mount your root partition (/dev/sda6 IS the correct setting for root). Either your root partitions's filesystem is not compiled into your kernel or you have not added support for your SATA controller. These must be compiled into the kernel, I realize that.

Hello everybody, I've setup grub on /dev/sda2 of a new SATA HD, listed in dmesg as /dev/sda. The other HDs are /dev/hda, which does present boot duty and /dev/hdb, containing / etc. Before moving files from /dev/hdb, which apparently has an un-fixable boot sector, to /dev/sda, I'd like to be
