That worked and allowed me to boot with the Minimal Install Disc. I was able to install Gentoo. Now I have a different problem. Before I go into it, I will describe my system. I have 1 250 GB SATA II HDD (which has Windows XP on it), and one 160 GB IDE HDD that I placed in an enclosure, so now it is a USB 2.0 drive (this is where Gentoo is installed). When I boot up the Install Disc, the Windows HDD shows up as /dev/sda, and the USB drive shows up as /dev/sdb. I have tried both Grub and Lilo and when I try to boot it, I get a very similar error - I've tried all sorts of configurations for the boot managers, and still it will not boot. It will boot from the Gentoo Boot CD. The message I get is like this: VFS: Cannot open root device "813" or unknown-block(8,19) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,19) Any suggestions would be welcome. TIA.
