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?
