Thank you Erik. That worked and allowed me to boot with the Minimal |
| 10 |
Install Disc. I was able to install Gentoo. Now I have a different |
| 11 |
problem. Before I go into it, I will describe my system. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I have 1 250 GB SATA II HDD (which has Windows XP on it), and one 160 |
| 14 |
GB IDE HDD that I placed in an enclosure, so now it is a USB 2.0 drive |
| 15 |
(this is where Gentoo is installed). When I boot up the Install Disc, |
| 16 |
the Windows HDD shows up as /dev/sda, and the USB drive shows up as |
| 17 |
/dev/sdb. |

I have tried both Grub and Lilo and when I try to boot it, I get a very |
| 20 |
similar error - I've tried all sorts of configurations for the boot |
| 21 |
managers, and still it will not boot. It will boot from the Gentoo Boot |
| 22 |
CD. The message I get is like this: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
VFS: Cannot open root device "813" or unknown-block(8,19) |
| 25 |
Please append a correct "root=" boot option |
| 26 |
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on |
| 27 |
unknown-block(8,19) |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Any suggestions would be welcome. TIA. |
