Installing gentoo as guest into vbox vm on solaris-11 (openindiana) |
2 |
HOST |
3 |
gentoo-17 |
4 |
VBox 5.2.6 |
5 |
Kernel 4.15.0 |
6 |
|
7 |
My first boot resulted in resulted in a kernel panic... not able to |
8 |
mount root. |
9 |
|
10 |
I checked my /etc/fstab trying to make sure I didn't make a stupid |
11 |
mistake there... it appear to be sound. (Included at the end of post) |
12 |
|
13 |
I suspect it may be the result of a kernel choice... or rather the |
14 |
lack of one. Something that would have been able to mount / |
15 |
|
16 |
I thought it would be ata_piix and made sure that was selected in |
17 |
kernel .config |
18 |
|
19 |
I'm thinking it may be be ata_generic, which I did not have selected. |
20 |
Which I have now enabled. But I see now, that is for IDE. |
21 |
|
22 |
In a chroot now I can see lspci -k shows ata_piix in use .. but that |
23 |
would probably be because in vbox I have the gentoo install media on |
24 |
IDE secondary master. But also shows sata controller ahci |
25 |
|
26 |
Which I do also have selected in .config. However there a number of |
27 |
AHCI choices in the kernel config that were not selected. |

Can anyone tell me what they used to allow gentoo in vbox to boot? |
