Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
I have built my kernel 2.6.15-r5 [not the latest I know but should |
4 |
support all that I have]. |
5 |
I am unable to boot it. It stops looking for root device when booting. |
6 |
Corresponding line from my grub,conf is title Linux-latest |
7 |
|
8 |
kernel (hd0,2)/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0 |
9 |
real_root=/dev/hda2 init=/linuxrc vga=7 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 |
10 |
initrd (hd0,2)/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 |
11 |
|
12 |
and from ls -tlr /boot/*2.6.15* |
13 |
|
14 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1563446 Mar 27 23:07 |
15 |
/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 |
16 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 597790 Mar 27 23:07 |
17 |
/boot/System.map-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 |
18 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1016367 Mar 27 23:10 |
19 |
/boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 |
20 |
|
21 |
So I am quite sure I have the files that I need. Not sure what I might |
22 |
be missing, so request you to please send me files at |
23 |
rohit.sharma@×××××××××.org [don't worry about multiples please - shall |
24 |
really be thankful to see what you guys have and to may be learn from it]. |

I have the same problem with my existing kernel also. It loads initially |
27 |
a lot of module, but when it comes to booting my root partition, |
28 |
/dev/hda2 it just sits and waits after an error saying that couldn't |
29 |
find a bootable device. |
30 |
|
31 |
Then I type /dev/hda2 manually on the same [grub] prompt and the machine |
32 |
boots fine, this is where I am writing to you from. |
33 |

Regards, |

PS - If someone wishes, I could send you my own .config to look at. |
38 |
Didn't want to send that to the list. Thanks for asking. |
