I didn't want any typos in this kernel output so took a small screen |
2 |
shot. |

I'm working on a new vm (vbox) install of gentoo but having trouble |
5 |
getting a kernel that boots. |
6 |
|

Architecture=amd64 (not strict) |

I started out by copying a .config from a running gentoo vm and using |
10 |
it to do `make oldconfig' then fumbled my way thru the questions, |
11 |
followed by a `make menuconfig' to look things over. |
12 |
|
13 |
That kernel panicked and it seems to say it could not mount an ATA |
14 |
disk. |
15 |
|
16 |
Ok, went back to make oldconfig with that copied .config and and just |
17 |
yessed my way thru the questions. I mean accepting the default on |
18 |
them all. |
19 |
|
20 |
Again I get a kernel panic but this time its different. It seems to |
21 |
mount the disks ok but then fails to find a working `init' command. |
22 |
|
23 |
Checking that with sysrescueCD I see /sbin/init does exist on that new vm. |
24 |
and is executable. |
25 |
|
26 |
The disk setup is sda1=/boot sda2=swap sda3=/home sda4=/ |
