Hi, |
| 18 |
|

looks like the kernel can't find your root partition. (VFS: Cannot open |
| 20 |
root device "sda3" or unknowen block(0,0)). |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Please make sure that you configured your grub correctly (which version do |
| 23 |
you use?). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
On grub legacy (0.9) edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the |
| 26 |
"root=<your root partiton>" parameter |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
it should look like this |
| 29 |
title Gentoo |
| 30 |
root (hd0,1) |
| 31 |
kernel /boot/kernel* root=/dev/sda2 |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
When you need further help, please post your partitioning and grub menu |
| 34 |
entry, grub device names can be verry confusing for beginners. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
The more complex idea in my mind is that your kernel is missing some device |
| 37 |
drivers for the ide/sata controler. |
| 38 |
This should not happen, because you used genkernel. |
