You may also want to try this link. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4173972.html#4173972 I haven't had to put that on mine but maybe something is different. The most common cause for this is not having the file system or drive controller drivers built in the kernel. Sort of grasping at straws here. ;-) I posted the link in case you want to read the rest of the thread as well. Make sure the option you have in fstab are correct for ext4. I have not used ext4 so I don't know if noatime applies or not. If you are unsure, set it to "defaults" for the time being. You should be able to change that later. Also, this is one of my grub.conf boot lines: title Gentoo kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage-2.6.30-r8-1 root=/dev/hda6 If nothing else works, copy yours to look like mine but replacing the relevant parts to match your setup, kernel name and where root is. Hope this helps. Dale :-) :-)
