Yes, GRUB is installed correctly and finding the kernel. |

This means the kernel cannot mount your root partition (/dev/sda6 IS the |
| 29 |
correct setting for root). Either your root partitions's filesystem is |
| 30 |
not compiled into your kernel or you have not added support for your SATA |
| 31 |
controller. These must be compiled into the kernel, not as modules. You |
| 32 |
need |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y |
| 35 |
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_YOURCONTROLLER=y |
