13 "Hello,
14
15 I've been trying to install Gentoo on one of my alpha-computers, a DEC 3300.
16 But I've been having problmes with the boot-procedure. I've installed the
17 system and compiled a kernel but when I try to boot the kernel I get:
18
19 aboot>b boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-alpha.nogz root=/dev/sdc2
20 aboot: loading uncompressed boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-alpha.nogz...
21 aboot: segment 0, 3407452 bytes at 0xfffffc0000310000
22 aboot: zero-filling 291180 bytes at 0xfffffc000064fe5c
23 dboot: starting kernel boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-alpga.nogz with arguments
24 root=/dev/sdc2
25
26
27 Then the screen flicks black for a second and then I get thrown out to the
28 SRM console again with the following code:
29
30 halted CPU 0
31
32 halt code = 6
33 double error halt
34 PC = 200000000
35 boot failure
36
37
38 But when I'm booting the kernel from the cd (2.4.19) The kernel boots of
39 nice untill i get a Kernel panic:
40
41 VFS: Cannot open root device "sdc2" or 08:22
42 Please append a correct "root=" boot option
43 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:22"
