In my experience this error: Error message on boot: VFS: cannot open root device "hdd2" on unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel-Panic not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) is about bad configuration in grub/lilo, check the real number of your root partition and remember: if you use Grub (great idea) add the real root partition number parameter to your kernel coniguration, plus the init parameter. This problem probably is the result of a change of your pool of disks or changes in your partitions or bad parameter in you boot config file.. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10 That can help you i guess. I hope help you... P.D : Excuse me for my english i'm learning about it. Have a VERY nice day.
