Good day,
I've installed (several times) on a ThinkPad T-40, trying both manual kernel
config and genkernel. I followed the online manual explicitly (I think). The
machine is currently loaded with the manual config. Either way, the results
are similar.
Grub shows the two boot options, then begins loading the OS.
The machine begins to boot, starts loading modules, then kernel panics:
VFS:Cannot open root device "hda3" or 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)
There is a single fixed disk:
Device Boot Size System Filesystem Mount
point
======= ==== ===== ========= ========= =========
/dev/hda1 * 32M Linux ext2
/boot
/dev/hda2 3G Linux swap none none
/dev/hda3 ~71G Linux ext3 /
I am able to mount and use these partitions after booting from CD.
/etc/fstab (/mnt/gentoo/etc/fstab when booted from disk) looks good.
Filesystems ext2 and ext3 are compiled into the kernel.
Grub details:
device.map
(hd0) /dev/hda
grub.conf
default 0
timeout 5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/spash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.17-r8
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/hda3
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.17-r8 (rescue)
root(hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/hda3 init=/bin/bb
I used grub-install /dev/hda with no errors. I've played around with the
"root=" entry, but to no avail - not sure I'm understanding this one...
The kernel image appears to be valid, with no typos in filename/grub
entries.
Any ideas? Seems that the kernel begins to load, but can't mount the root
filesystem?
Thank-you for any pointers.
