I sort of think this is in there but make sure you did the same for your |
25 |
drive controllers as well. You may also want to try this link. |

I haven't had to put that on mine but maybe something is different. The |
30 |
most common cause for this is not having the file system or drive |
31 |
controller drivers built in the kernel. Sort of grasping at straws |
32 |
here. ;-) I posted the link in case you want to read the rest of the |
33 |
thread as well. |

Make sure the option you have in fstab are correct for ext4. I have not |
36 |
used ext4 so I don't know if noatime applies or not. If you are unsure, |
37 |
set it to "defaults" for the time being. You should be able to change |
38 |
that later. |

Also, this is one of my grub.conf boot lines: |
41 |
|
42 |
title Gentoo |
43 |
kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage-2.6.30-r8-1 root=/dev/hda6 |
44 |
|
45 |
If nothing else works, copy yours to look like mine but replacing the |
46 |
relevant parts to match your setup, kernel name and where root is. |

Hope this helps. |
