Could the root device now be referred to as /dev/sda4 (SCSI Disk
support) with the kernel now loading?
You should be able to pass the root device to the kernel at boot time
(root=/dev/sda4).
If you are able to get past the root filesystem check (the disk is
referred to as sda instead of hda), then you will need to update your /
etc/fstab to reflect the different device names.

Mark,
Did you compile in your ext2/ext3 support as a module or
statically into the
kernel? If you compiled them as modules, then you need to create
an inirtrd
that includes the drivers to load on boot.
Just a thought.

I believe they are both built-in:
livecd ~ # cat /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config | grep EXT2
CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_SECURITY=y
# CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XIP is not set
livecd ~ # cat /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config | grep EXT3
CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y
# CONFIG_EXT3_DEFAULTS_TO_ORDERED is not set
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR=y

livecd ~ #

Anyone else able to chime in before I give up on PowerPC again? Sure
would like to get this running again.
QUESTION: Is there a way to rebuild partition 1 on these Apple disks?
The one labeled 'Apple_partition_map '? Seems like that's the only
thing I haven't touched yet having rebuilt this machine twice.
Again, this machine has run Gentoo for a few years. I was doing a
major emerge -e @world operation which seemed to finish successfully
but when I rebooted the kernel doesn't see the drive. I've rebuilt the
machine 2 more times from scratch and continue to be stumped by this
problem.
Thanks,
Mark
