Hi all,

I've decided to reinstall my system to a stable one (I used ~x86
before).

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
