Roman, et al, since you, and maybe others seem to be incredibly hot to trot on my desktop booting issue, the files you requested are at
<http://www.fmp.com/~fmouse/vishnu/> /etc/fstab (vishnu_fstab.txt) is configured as per the _working_ kernel on the box, which is 2.6.21-gentoo-r1. When booting from a more recent kernel, the 1st three lines will be changed to spec /dev/sdXn instead of /dev/hdXn. The kernel config (vishnu_kernel-2.6.29-gentoo-r5_config.txt) is suspect at this point, as per Roman's information re. 2.6.29 being a thoroughly discredited kernel version. This configuration will _not_ be used going forward into a more recent kernel. vishnu_emerge_info.txt is "emerge --info" from the box. I'm not sure how this will give you any insight into the booting problem on the box, but since you seem to have your knickers in a knot about my _not_ posting it, here it is :-) Kernels on the box are built manually, using "make bzImage" and friends, not using genkernel. When I have some time to take the box down, upgrade the kernel and take another shot at this problem, I'll update. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Real programmers use butterflies" FMP Computer Services | 512-259-1190 | - xkcd http://www.fmp.com |
