Hi group,

I've been working and reading and tweaking and editing
all day and gentoo will not boot. Typical kernel
panic:

grub> root (hd0,0)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
 
grub> kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 ro
  [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1200, size=0x13d208]

grub>boot

,,,VFS: Cannot open root device "hda3" or
unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic-not syncing...unknown-block(0,0)

Panics for hda1 and hda3. Whether I use the device
names or grub (hd0,x) terminology. Whether or not I
declare a root dev after /vmlinuz

Yes, ext2fs support was compiled *into* the kernel.

There are 4 primary partitions: 
hda1(boot-ext2), 
2(swap), 
3(root-ext2) and 
4(home-ext2). 

Very simple. No dual boot. No extended partitions.

e2fsck checks out for hda1 and hda3. No errors are
noted for the drive in dmesg or fdisk. 

Is there something I haven't tried?

Maxim

Have you enabled support for your disk controller?
