(clug-talk) ok, NOW I have a technical Problem...

[Kevin Anderson]

I have Gentoo installed.  Everything is good except GRUB. When I try to boot, I receive an error that the device = "cciss/disc0/part7" cannot be found. This refers to a Compaq hardware RAID controller. Support for the controller IS built into the kernel.  (I just recompiled = it to be sure). I get a GRUB prompt when I first boot.  This is fine, Gentoo's install = warns that you'll have some screwiness with GRUB after their install.  = They have me create a boot floppy. Anyways, At the GRUB prompt, it goes... grub> root (hd0,0)  Filesystem type is ext2fs partition type 0x83 grub> kernel /boot/bzImage root=3D/dev/cciss/disc0/part7  Linux-bzImage, setup=3D0xa00, size=3D0x1095a4 grub> boot     Blah, blah, blah starts booting... Now, clearly, it can see the /boot partition, I can use TAB to "browse" = through it. However, the boot starts, and then it pukes with the following error. VFS: Cannot open root device "cciss/disc0/part7" or 00:cc Please append a correct "root=3D" boot option Kernel Panic.  VFS: Unable to open root fs on 00:cc Disk setup is as follows. Array 1     Disc0         part1   /boot          ext3    100 Meg         part2   Swap                   1Gig         part5   /var            ext3    3Gig         part6   /usr            ext3    3Gig         part7   /                ext3    1.5Gig Array2     Disc1         part1  /home        xfs    300Gig Any thoughts? There is no data on here, so I can play with anything... Kev.
