1 Hi all,
2
3 I've decided to reinstall my system to a stable one (I used ~x86
4 before).
5
6 To prepare the disk I've wiped out all of / except /home and all
7 of /boot.
8
9 Th installation (according to the handbook) went smoothly.
10
11 The new kernel starts up and then I get an VFS error saying that there
12 is an invalid boot option root= ... and panics.
13
14 /boot on /dev/hda1 or (hd0,0) is ext2, / on /dev/hda3 or (hd0,2)
15
16 Here is my menu.lst:
17
18 default 0
19 timeout 30
20
21 title=Initial
22 root (hd0,0)
23 kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r4_initial root=/dev/hda3
24
25 I've set up grub this way:
26 grub> root (hd0,0)
27 grub> setup (hd0)
28 grub quit
29
30 The kernel is configured for ext2 and ext3 filesystems.
31
32 Has anyone an Idea? I don't have further :(
33
34 Thanks in advance
