1 Hi group,
2
3 I've been working and reading and tweaking and editing
4 all day and gentoo will not boot. Typical kernel
5 panic:
6
7 grub> root (hd0,0)
8 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
9
10 grub> kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 ro
11 [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1200, size=0x13d208]
12
13 grub>boot
14
15 ,,,VFS: Cannot open root device "hda3" or
16 unknown-block(0,0)
17 Please append a correct "root=" boot option
18 Kernel panic-not syncing...unknown-block(0,0)
19
20 Panics for hda1 and hda3. Whether I use the device
21 names or grub (hd0,x) terminology. Whether or not I
22 declare a root dev after /vmlinuz
23
24 Yes, ext2fs support was compiled *into* the kernel.
25
26 There are 4 primary partitions:
27 hda1(boot-ext2),
28 2(swap),
29 3(root-ext2) and
30 4(home-ext2).
31
32 Very simple. No dual boot. No extended partitions.
33
34 e2fsck checks out for hda1 and hda3. No errors are
35 noted for the drive in dmesg or fdisk.
36
37 Is there something I haven't tried?
