Subject: [gentoo-user] amd64 kernel error

1 Hello,
2
3 I'm almost finished on a new amd64 install. I built a new kernel
4 (2.6.18-gentoo-r3) and make it a boot option in grub.conf
5 and try to boot off of it. The system has these error lines
6 on the screen before locking up:
7
8 <snip>
9 Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up.
10 VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
11 VFS: Insert root floppy and press Enter.
12 <end/snip>
13
14 I saved the kernel from the livecd installation process
15 and it boots just fine and works great.
16 uname -a
17 Linux excursion 2.6.17-gentoo-r7 #1 SMP Tue Aug 29 01:30:07 UTC 2006 x86_64 AMD
18 Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

21 I ran emerge world, emerge xorg-x11 and emerge kde-meta
22 all ran/compiled just fine. X is not setup (yet).
23
24 I made the kernel options for 2.6.18-gentoo-r3 identical to
25 those for a amd64 (turion) based system, but it still gives
26 that NFS error, which is probably a vestige from the livecd
27 install.
28
29 Any ideas how to fix this?
