Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I just tried to install Gentoo 2005.1 on a computer with one 9GB SCSI. |
| 4 |
When booting, I get the following error: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 7 |
Block device /dev/sda3 is not a valid root device |
| 8 |
The root block device is unspecified or not detected |
| 9 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I tried other block devices (dev/sda1 etc) to no avail |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
My grub.conf.is as follows: |
| 14 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 15 |
default 0 |
| 16 |
timeout 30 |
| 17 |
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz |

initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.13-gentoo-r5 |

|
| 26 |
My fstab is as follows: |
| 27 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

|
| 29 |
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2 |
| 30 |

shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |

Hope someone can help, as it's getting awfully irritating using a CD-ROM |
| 45 |
to boot the system (which isn't necessary very often). |
