But also shows sata controller ahci In case device driver is fine, you would want to check the filesystem type. I've done something like using btrfs as rootfs but didn't mark btrfs as builtin module. Similar kernel panic. -- Silence is golden.
[gentoo-user] kernel choices for booting gentoo as guest in vbox vm
Installing gentoo as guest into vbox vm on solaris-11 (openindiana) HOST gentoo-17 VBox 5.2.6 Kernel 4.15.0 My first boot resulted in resulted in a kernel panic... not able to mount root. I checked my /etc/fstab trying to make sure I didn't make a stupid mistake there... it appear to be sound. (Included at the end of post) I suspect it may be the result of a kernel choice... or rather the lack of one. Something that would have been able to mount / I thought it would be ata_piix and made sure that was selected in kernel .config I'm thinking it may be be ata_generic, which I did not have selected. Which I have now enabled. But I see now, that is for IDE. In a chroot now I can see lspci -k shows ata_piix in use .. but that would probably be because in vbox I have the gentoo install media on IDE secondary master. But also shows sata controller ahci Which I do also have selected in .config. However there a number of AHCI choices in the kernel config that were not selected. Can anyone tell me what they used to allow gentoo in vbox to boot?
