[gentoo-user] RAID related boot problems
Howdy, I'm trying a new install (since I hosed my last one) and I figured I'd give the RAID+LVM thing a go. I followed the guide at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86+raid+lvm2-quickinstall.xml and everything seemed to have worked ok, but when I boot I get 3 no-fun (TM) lines: VFS: Cannot open root device md3 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) Now, my relevant grub lines read: root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/kernel root=/dev/md3 My partition layout is just like the one show in the guide: /boot - RAID 1 of hda1 and hdc1 swap - hda2 and hdc2 /- RAID 1 of hda3 and hdc3 LVM - RAID 0 of hda4 and hdc5 (I used an extended partition on hdc because it it much larger than hda and I wanted to create an hdc6 for the additional space) I am able to boot from the livecd and mount the arrays just fine, so I believe it might be a kernel problem. But I did enable all of the necessary kernel options listed in the guide and they are built into the kernel (as is ext2/3 which are the only file systems in use). Any clues? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] RAID related boot problems
Thanks to *NeddySeagoon *from Gentoo forums, I've been able to resolve my problem. It turned out not to be RAID related at all: I made and mistake in configuring support for my IDE controller!

I actually went this route in January but it was no go. So to update, I've been thinking that I may try to install Gentoo in a chrooted environment so I at least have access to portage that way. There are other power that be over the powers that be who may be able to help me get a native Gentoo system also :) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEsJeCohEPKF4FYk8RAmiyAJ9rqs+XMpPca7qtStHGH6sWlm8YTgCfRmYp yeg7/3heNunBQA0m5uvbG5Q= =am38 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
