To prepare the disk I've wiped out all of / except /home and all of /boot. Th installation (according to the handbook) went smoothly. The new kernel starts up and then I get an VFS error saying that there is an invalid boot option root= ... and panics. /boot on /dev/hda1 or (hd0,0) is ext2, / on /dev/hda3 or (hd0,2) Here is my menu.lst: default 0 timeout 30 title=Initial root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r4_initial root=/dev/hda3 I've set up grub this way: grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) grub quit The kernel is configured for ext2 and ext3 filesystems. Has anyone an Idea? I don't have further :( Thanks in advance Frank -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
