This is the first time ever that I ended up with an unbootable kernel |
2 |
after a new install, and I have no idea where to start. This is a |
3 |
fresh install of Gentoo 2007.0 minimal CD stage 3, using the x86 quick |
4 |
install guide. |
5 |
|
6 |
Here's the error I get at boot while the kernel is loading its device drivers: |
7 |
|
8 |
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown-block(0,0) |
9 |
Please append a correct "root=" boot option |
10 |
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) |
11 |
|
12 |
I am using grub, with conf file just like in the install guide (I |
13 |
happened to use the same file system set-up): |
14 |
|
15 |
title=Gentoo |
16 |
root (hd0,0) |
17 |
kernel /boot/kernel root=/dev/sda3 |
18 |
|
19 |
I have a SATA drive in my system, which seems to get loaded fine by |
20 |
the kernel, at least from what I can tell - there seem to be no error |
21 |
messages to that effect. |
22 |
|
23 |
I suppose I could do a genkernel, but I'd like to be able to tell |
24 |
where I went wrong with my config... Where do I start looking for |
25 |
this? |
