1 Hello all,
2
3 I just built a new machine (celeron 3 GHz) using a script that builds
4 the kernel using genkernel and a config that is copied from that of the
5 kernel on the install cd. The latter was downloaded and burned from a
6 very recent autobuild.
7
8 The build process appears to complete successfully, with nothing
9 untoward in the logs. However, the machine will not boot but hangs at
10 this point in the process:
11
12 root (hd0,0)
13
14 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
15 kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.32-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/ram0 init=linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda3 vga=791
16
17 [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3000, size=0x2a8d80]

19 This is the grub.conf:

21 default 0
22 timeout 5

27 kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.32-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda3 vga=791
28 initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.32-gentoo-r7
29
30 I have verified that the names of the kernel and initrd on the disk
31 match those in grub.conf. In any case a wrong filename is usually
32 signalled as 'not found' during the boot process.
33
34 Can anyone suggest how to debug this?
35
36 Thanks,
