Howdy, I'm trying a new install (since I hosed my last one) and I |
| 2 |
figured I'd give the RAID+LVM thing a go. I followed the guide at |
| 3 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86+raid+lvm2-quickinstall.xml and |
| 4 |
everything seemed to have worked ok, but when I boot I get 3 no-fun (TM) |
| 5 |
lines: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
VFS: Cannot open root device "md3" or unknown-block(0,0) |
| 8 |
Please append a correct "root=" boot option |
| 9 |
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on |
| 10 |
unknown-block(0,0) |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Now, my relevant grub lines read: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
root (hd0,0) |
| 15 |
kernel /boot/kernel root=/dev/md3 |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
My partition layout is just like the one show in the guide: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
/boot -> RAID 1 of hda1 and hdc1 |
| 20 |
swap -> hda2 and hdc2 |
| 21 |
/ -> RAID 1 of hda3 and hdc3 |
| 22 |
LVM -> RAID 0 of hda4 and hdc5 (I used an extended partition on hdc |
| 23 |
because it it much larger than hda and I wanted to create an hdc6 for |
| 24 |
the additional space) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I am able to boot from the livecd and mount the arrays just fine, so I |
| 27 |
believe it might be a kernel problem. But I did enable all of the |
| 28 |
necessary kernel options listed in the guide and they are built into the |
| 29 |
kernel (as is ext2/3 which are the only file systems in use). Any clues? |
