Subject: [gentoo-user] problem with 2 partition installation from gentoo minimal system

1 Hello Group, I spend a whole day trying to get this to work. Here is my
2 setup
3
4 /dev/sda1 / ext3 noatime 0 1
5 /dev/sda2 swap
6
7 grub is installed using the 'root (hd0,0)' and 'setup (hd0)', no problem.
8
9 emerge kernel-sources worked fine.
10
11 However everytime the system boots, it reports the VFS panic (no root
12 system found problem). The kernel has built in ext2 and ext3 support.
13 The error hint is to supply root option during boot, but my boot command
14 is this
15 kernel /boot/kernel root=/dev/sda1
16
17 Is there something missing that I didn't think of that's causing the
18 failures? I followed the steps outlined here:

21 except I am using a 2 partition setup.
