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. |
