Yes, you are close, but you probably have some issues with the kernel command line. GRUB is finding the kernel, but the kernel does not seem to be mounting the root directory. I see GRUB with: set root=(hd0,11) linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.1 root=/dev/sda11 ro I'm a little confused here since you are building in a VM. You have 11 partitions on the VM? In any case, I don't think GRUB and the kernel are mapping the partitions the same. What does 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' give you? Also 'cat /boot/grub/device.map' BTW, Shift-PgUp should ley you scroll back the boot messages. You should see something like: [ 2.832244] sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 < sda5 sda6 sda7 sda8 sda9 sda10 sda11 sda12 sda13 sda14 sda15 sda16 sda17 > [ 2.833519] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk ...
