I emerged kernel 2.6.2 dev-gentoo last night and proceeded to get it up and
running this evening. When I tried to boot it I ended up with the following
problems.
Step 4: Determining root device
Root block device unspecified or not detected.
Please specify a device to boot, or "shell" for a shell.
: (i input /dev/hdb3 and it continued)
then it did the next
Remounting root filesystem read-only (if necesarry)... [!!]
Filesystem is NOT cleanly unmounted.
Partition /dev/hdb3 is mounted with write permissions, cannot check it
*Filesystem couldn't be fixed :( [!!]
Give root password for maintenance
What could I have done wrong and how do I fix it?
the snip from my lilo.conf in case it helps.
#
image = /boot/kernel-2.6.2-gentoo
root = /dev/hdb3
#root = /devices/discs/disc0/part3
label = Gentoo3
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.2-gentoo
append="root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc"
read-only # read-only for checking
#
thanks in advance for any help
