the hard drive is in fact pata and not sata or scsi?
linux file systems were compiled into the kernel to support the file systems
on the
partition(s)? --- what is in your fstab???
you installed/have one windows one linux one swap partitions?
or
you installed/have one windows/ one linux boot/ one linux root/ one swap
partitions?
or
???
Suggest you boot the install cd
mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/gentoo ---this will report the file system used
ls -l /mnt/gentoo
determine whether it is a root or a boot directory.
ls -l /mnt/gentoo/boot
should contain file: bzImage-2.6.14 which should be exact spelling of your
kernel name if grub.conf is correct what kernel install method did you
use? my kernel names always look like kernel-2.6.13-r5 after following the
handbook
suggest delete:
root (hd0,1)
setup (hd0)
from grub.conf

disable CONFIG_ROOT_NFS (-> File systems
-> Network File Systems); you don´t need it unless you have
a diskless terminal or something

selection)
