Hey everyone,
I'm new to Gentoo, but not to Linux. For some reason I seem to be
struggling to get it booted after installing. Basically my setup is I
have 3 partitions as follows: /dev/hda1 (32MB EXT3) used as /boot.
/dev/hda2 (512MB) for swap, and the rest is on /dev/hda3 (ReiserFS).
The contents of my /boot/grub/grub.conf is as follows:
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.17-r8
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/hda3
Everything look normal so far? Well when I reboot, and select Gentoo
on the GRUB list, it starts to load and then I get the following error:
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda3" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in
advance!
Please try this:
intead of
kernel /kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/hda3
give
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/hda3
Or i should simply read better... sorry.
Forget the rubbish i wrote...
