I'm not very sure I can help, but the uuid is created by mkfs, when the partition is formatted under whatever distro you are using. > List of all partitions: > 0800 321571224 sda driver: sd > 0801 1228800 sda1 > 0802 211340376 sda2 > 0b00 1048575 sr0 driver: sr > No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext3 vfat msdos iso9660 > Kernal Panic - not syncing VFS: unable to mount root fs on > unknown-block(8,0) I don't see what you used in grub to start the kernel, but it is obviously finding the kernel. There are two potential problems. Either you don't have the ext2/3 filesystem built into the kernel or the root= parameter on the kernel line does not specify what it needs. You should have in the kernel config CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y That is probably OK because the kernel tried it. (Note the only difference between ext2 and ext3 is the journal, so ext3 is a superset of ext2.) Looking at the above, I'd say that you should specify root=/dev/sda1 or root=/dev/sda2. You may also have a kernel config problem with not configuring with the proper usb devices -- don't set anything to modules. I'd also check a working disto's logs to see what USB parameters are being initialized and make sure those are set in the kernel config. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
