I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.19-gentoo-r6 this morning. I used |
| 2 |
genkernel. I followed these steps: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Deleted the /usr/src/linux symlink and recreated it point |
| 5 |
to /usr/src/2.6.19-gentoo-r5 |
| 6 |
zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6 |
| 7 |
genkernel all |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
After it successfully built, I opened up my /boot/grub/grub.conf file in |
| 10 |
vim and copied the entry lines for the old kernel I was using |
| 11 |
(2.6.18-gentoo-r6 - also created with genkernel) and changed the numbers |
| 12 |
to reflect the new kernel on the title, kernel, and initrd lines. |
| 13 |
However when I attempt to boot up with the new kernel, it goes through |
| 14 |
its usual device checks, and then right when it should say "Booting |
| 15 |
initramfs-{xxxx}", it says "/dev/sda6 is not a suitable root |
| 16 |
device." (or something like that) and offers me either a chance to enter |
| 17 |
the root device, or a shell. I asked for the shell. I did ls and saw a |
| 18 |
directory structure seemingly similar to my / on my root partition, but |
| 19 |
when I did ls /dev I didn't see any sda devices (or an other s* devices |
| 20 |
for that matter). What's gone wrong, and what do I do to fix it? Below |
| 21 |
is my /boot/grub/grub.conf: |
