Hello all, |

I've been thinking about creating a Gentoo USB stick for install and |
4 |
rescue purposes (and, of course, just to see if I could). I've mostly |
5 |
followed the Gentoo handbook (I used a single 4GB partition for the |
6 |
whole system, and no swap). I've used genkernel for the kernel (so I |
7 |
can have a multi-system capable kernel). I've gotten GRUB installed and |
8 |
working. My problem comes in after what I believe is the init process: |

fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sda1 |

/dev/sda1: |
33 |
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 |
34 |
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 |
35 |
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock |
36 |
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: |
37 |
e2fsck -b 8193 <device> |

Give root password for maintenance |
42 |
(or type Control-D to continue): |

|
45 |
If I give the root password, I can find no /dev/sda1. However, mount |
46 |
shows /dev/sda1 on /, and there *is* a /sys/block/sda folders, with a |
47 |
sda1 folder in that as well. It's almost like it had /dev/sda1, but |
48 |
then lost it somehow. |

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? Any help would be |
51 |
appreciated. |
