1 Hi,

3 I've just installed Gentoo alongside XP. /dev/hde is
4 my main harddrive. I'm getting the error
5
6 "VFS: Cannot open root device "hde4" or
7 uknown-block(0,0)
8 Please append a correct "root=" boot option
9 Kernel panic.."

11 Any idea why this is? Maybe this info will help

13 It's a 120 Gig harddrive
14 /dev/hde1 is 20 Gigs, for Windows
15 /dev/hde2 is 32 Megs, for /boot
16 /dev/hde3 is 512 Megs, for swap
17 /dev/hde4 is the rest of the harddrive, for /
