Hey all, has anyone seen an error like this before? Gentoo Linux; http://www.gentoo.org Copyright 2001 Gentoo Technologies, Inc.; Distributed under the GPL
* Mounting /proc... [ok] * Starting devfsd... [ok] * Mounting ramdisk 0 at /mnt/.init.d... [oops] * the "dd" command failed with error: 1024+0 records in 1024+0 records out * Since this is a critical task, startup cannot continue. Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D for normal startup): This is on a new Gentoo Linux system that I built... er, almost built. I suspect that I may have screwed something up in the kernel build (something involving ramdisk support?), or maybe just in configuring Grub. I'm using a custom compiled version 2.2.20 kernel, because I have an old ATAPI cd-rom that can't seem to mount media under 2.4 kernels. That's a little nonstandard for Gentoo, so it's possible that I followed all of the instructions correctly, but that the instructions were wrong... pardon the rambling. In any case, I'm wondering if anyone has seen a problem like this after compiling a new kernel; if so, any idea what's causing it? A newsgroup search didn't turn up anything helpful (or even relevant), so I thought I'd let you guys take a crack at it before turning to gentoo-user.
