I do have the ext2/ext3 compiled into the kernel.


Where can I read up more on the initrd? The gentoo install docs have the manual kernel build w/o an initrd.

You sure you've got either the ext3 modules included in an initrd image,
or (the simplest approach) compiled into the 2.6 kernel?

Another possibility is that the initrd image contains something it
shouldn't, and that you'll be able to boot if you delete the initrd boot
entry.

I keep getting this error at boot:

VFS: Cannot open root device "hda7" or hda7
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on hda7

Seems straightforward, but my grub.conf has:

title Gentoo (2.6.1-r1)
   root (hd0,4)
   kernel (hd0,4)/kernel-2.6.1-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/hda7

and I checked the /etc/fstab and it has

/dev/hda7 / ext3 noatime 0 1

Not sure what's up. hda7 is definitely my Gentoo root.
