You should be able to pass the root device to the kernel at boot time (root= =3D/dev/sda4).
If you are able to get past the root filesystem check (the disk is referred= to as sda instead of hda), then you will need to update your /etc/fstab to= reflect the different device names.

Mark,

Did you compile in your ext2/ext3 support as a module or statically into th= e
kernel? =A0If you compiled them as modules, then you need to create an inir= trd
that includes the drivers to load on boot.

Just a thought.

I believe they are both built-in:

livecd ~ # cat /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config | grep EXT2
CONFIG_EXT2_FS=3Dy
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR=3Dy
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL=3Dy

CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR=3Dy
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL=3Dy

livecd ~ #

Anyone else able to chime in before I give up on PowerPC again? Sure
would like to get this running again.

QUESTION: Is there a way to rebuild partition 1 on these Apple disks?
The one labeled 'Apple_partition_map '? Seems like that's the o= nly
thing I haven't touched yet having rebuilt this machine twice.

Again, this machine has run Gentoo for a few years. I was doing a
major emerge -e @world operation which seemed to finish successfully
but when I rebooted the kernel doesn't see the drive. I've rebuilt = the
machine 2 more times from scratch and continue to be stumped by this
problem.

Thanks,
Mark
