Do you have a block device driver built into the kernel? And what type of |
34 |
shell are you dropped into when then happens? Is it a single-user mode shell |
35 |
or grub (or something else entirely)? Also, while you're booted into the |
36 |
livecd/dvd/usb and you chroot, try lspci -k and check to see what |
37 |
modules/drivers that lists as installed and see if you have them enabled in |
38 |
your config. |
