 Could it be /etc/fstab?

No, fstab is not used for mounting the root filesystem.  It can be
used for re-mounting it read-write, but not for the initial mount.

The only other likely possibility I can think of is that you are
somehow booting the wrong kernel.  Try to take a look at the first
line of kernel output, it will include the date and time that you
compiled the kernel.  Make sure it looks sane.

[gentoo-user] drive found but still panics

2005-12-02 Thread maxim wexler
Hello everybody,

For those of you who have been following my thread re:
NV_SATA, thanks to Richard Fish, the drive is now seen
but the kernel still panics after the last coherent
message Using IPI shortcut mode. Seems it still
can't mount the root fs although

grub kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda6
  [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x120,size=0x1463b31]

And root on /dev/sda6(reiserfs) is eminently mountable
from the LiveCD or another gentoo install. I can
chroot to it, read/write, emerge files etc.

Any help apprecitated

From a previous posting of your kernel config, I see that you have:

CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK=y
CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO=y

The above are normally disabled, so I would try taking them out and
see if you have better luck.

Other than that, double (and triple) check that it really is a
reiserfs filesystem, because it should be working.
