I am still trying to install Gentoo on a G4 iMac from the |
2 |
universal-ppc-2005.1 disk (kernel 2.6.12-gentoo-r6), and I keep getting |
3 |
this error message: |
4 |
|
5 |
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda15" or unknown-block(0,0) |
6 |
Please append a correct "root=" boot option |
7 |
Kernel panic - not syncing:VFS:unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) |
8 |
|

I read on the web that this might be due to some disks being misnamed |
10 |
and read in the wrong order; a suggested solution was to activate the |
11 |
options config BLK_DEV_IDE_PMAC (Builtin PowerMac IDE support) and |
12 |
config BLK_DEV_IDE_PMAC_ATA100FIRST (Probe internal ATA/100 (Kauai) first). |
13 |
|
14 |
I wanted to try this and configured the kernel accordingly; but then I |
15 |
got a compile error: |
16 |
|
17 |
CC drivers/ide/ppc/pmac.o |

I looked at pmac.c, but I saw nothing obvious; is it a known error that |
27 |
one could correct, or is perhaps a patch available? |
28 |
|
29 |
Apart from that, what is the idea worth? |
