Hi all, I have built my kernel 2.6.15-r5 [not the latest I know but should support all that I have]. I am unable to boot it. It stops looking for root device when booting. Corresponding line from my grub,conf is title Linux-latest
kernel (hd0,2)/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/hda2 init=/linuxrc vga=7 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 initrd (hd0,2)/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 and from ls -tlr /boot/*2.6.15* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1563446 Mar 27 23:07 /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 597790 Mar 27 23:07 /boot/System.map-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1016367 Mar 27 23:10 /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 So I am quite sure I have the files that I need. Not sure what I might be missing, so request you to please send me files at [EMAIL PROTECTED] [don't worry about multiples please - shall really be thankful to see what you guys have and to may be learn from it]. I have the same problem with my existing kernel also. It loads initially a lot of module, but when it comes to booting my root partition, /dev/hda2 it just sits and waits after an error saying that couldn't find a bootable device. Then I type /dev/hda2 manually on the same [grub] prompt and the machine boots fine, this is where I am writing to you from. Regards, Rohit PS - If someone wishes, I could send you my own .config to look at. Didn't want to send that to the list. Thanks for asking. -- [email protected] mailing list
