I have been trying, in vain, for several days to get TinyGentoo to |
2 |
boot from a USB drive. I have followed all of the instructions (twice) |
3 |
and cannot get past a kernel panic issue that I am having. |
4 |
|
5 |
Here is the issue...Grub comes up just like it should, the initramfs |
6 |
gets into memory and the boot starts. There are several checks that |
7 |
take place then the kernel load is attempted. This is where everything |
8 |
falls apart...the kernel panics. |
9 |
|
10 |
I get something to the affect of... |
11 |
|
12 |
VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block (0,0) |
13 |
Please append a correct "root=" boot option |
14 |
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0) |
15 |
|
16 |
I have searched around and here is what I have tried... |
17 |
* Add root (0,0) line to grub conf |
18 |
* Add root= parameter to the kernel line in grub conf (both /dev/sda1 |
19 |
and /dev/ram0) |
20 |
* Add a mount delay to the kernel line in grub conf |
21 |
* Rebuilt the kernel according to the instructions (for good measure) |
22 |
|
23 |
Any help would be appreciated. |
