Typical panic, no warning, then 'can't find root |
| 16 |
device please append correct "root=" option.' Before, |
| 17 |
when this happened it was because I had not compiled |
| 18 |
into the kernel the right fs drivers. Not this time. |

Well, well, well. Just booted the CD and noticed when |
| 21 |
I mount my root part. /dev/sda7 on /mnt/gentoo, it's |
| 22 |
already got a boot dir there which is totally |
| 23 |
different from the separate /boot that gets mounted |
| 24 |
from fstab, /dev/sda2. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Here's the "boot" dir that get mounted along with |
| 27 |
/dev/sda7 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
livecd root # ls -l /mnt/gentoo/boot |

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1220856 May 9 00:48 vmlinuz |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
here's the "boot" dir that is referenced in fstab. |
| 36 |
This is the one that got transformed by following the |
| 37 |
recent post from forgot-his-name who recommended a |
| 38 |
thorough house-cleaning. |

This has gotta be the problem. Or most of it. I've |
| 64 |
been going along all this time separately mounting a |
| 65 |
/boot partition, formatted ext2 and a root partitiion, |
| 66 |
formatted reiserfs which already has a "boot" dir |
| 67 |
attached. Is that the one that actually boots? Is it |
| 68 |
even a problem? How did it get there? Better yet, how |
| 69 |
do I explain this to the bug folks? |
