Here is my setup /dev/sda1 / ext3 noatime 0 1 /dev/sda2 swap grub is installed using the 'root (hd0,0)' and 'setup (hd0)', no problem. emerge kernel-sources worked fine. However everytime the system boots, it reports the VFS panic (no root system found problem). The kernel has built in ext2 and ext3 support. The error hint is to supply root option during boot, but my boot command is this kernel /boot/kernel root=/dev/sda1 Is there something missing that I didn't think of that's causing the failures? I followed the steps outlined here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml except I am using a 2 partition setup. Fei -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
