I switched now to a new mainboard and it seems that the drive numbering changed or my kernel does not detect any hard disks... If I try to boot my gentoo the kernel panic because it cannot find the root partition.
Did you recompile kernel to support your new mobo?
After the panic I cannot scroll up to check what drives are detected and which numbering is used. What must I do to be able to scroll up to see what is logged to the screen?
I tell you what I did in similar situation: I simply recoreded screen during boot-up with a camera. After that, I played the video-file on different computer, checking for messages. It is not "clean" solution, but it worked for me... :-) Jarry -- _______________________________________________________________ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists!
