Something isn't right here. This .config appears to be severely stunted. |
| 30 |
It's missing lots of options that should be defined (whether active or |
| 31 |
not). Indeed, a typical .config might easily exceed 2000 lines. It's |
| 32 |
also missing the comment at the top which describes the kernel version |
| 33 |
in use. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Is this really the entire .config file that is currently residing within |
| 36 |
/mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux, having mounted the root filesystem and that |
| 37 |
was used to build the kernel you're attempting to boot with? If so, it's |
| 38 |
broken and you should just delete it entirely and start anew with make |
| 39 |
menuconfig. If not, then please present the file in full (no diffs, no |
| 40 |
obfuscation please). |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Aside from all of that, notable options that are going to be required to |
| 43 |
boot in your case are: |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
CONFIG_MD_RAID1 |
| 46 |
CONFIG_SATA_AHCI |
| 47 |
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD |
| 48 |
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR |
| 49 |
CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION (normally implicit but worth mentioning) |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
That, and the option corresponding with whichever filesystem you use. |
| 52 |
Also, make sure CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 is off or else udev will |
| 53 |
balk. You may use the forward slash key to search for option names in |
| 54 |
make menuconfig (never edit .config directly). All needed options should |
| 55 |
be enabled as <*>. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Also, if you're not experienced with kernel configuration and need a |
| 58 |
skeleton .config with which to begin, I would suggest you take a look at |
| 59 |
http://kernel-seeds.org. |
