Try to change it into the simpler root = /dev/sda1 or remove it altogether, since you already specified the root device in the global section. Also, you seem to have a SCSI or SATA drive (the output of lspci would help here). All SCSI low-level drivers are disabled in your config, so I guess you have a SATA drive. But, you have also disabled all the SATA drivers (it's the "Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers" section). This could happen if you did "make oldconfig" using a pre-2.6.19 config file, because SATA drivers moved under CONFIG_ATA starting from 2.6.19. If so, do a "make menuconfig" and double check that all the drivers you need are compiled into your kernel. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
