[gentoo-user] kernel compilation problem [panic: not syncing VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknows-block(0,0)

[Catalin Trifu]

	Hi,


    I have just got a new machine with nForce4 chipset and 250GB SATA drive.
I am trying to compile the kernel on the machine (gentoo-sources) and it works
just fine but at boot time I get the panic in the subject and I don't get it
why. I have compiled sata_nv directly in the kernel. I'm not using any raid
or such things.
    I also installed the kernel + initrd from the 2006.0 live cd and that kernel
boots just fine.


Thanks,
Catalin

	Hi,


   Actually the sata_nv was not compiled directly in the kernel, was a module
   Sorry for the trouble

in line kernel /bzImage-2.6.15-r5 root=/dev/sda
add -ro

you should specify a partition with the root parameter, e.g. /dev/sda1
this partition is where your '/' locates.

Also, be sure to have support for pc bios partition tables (in some
kernel releases, it's not a default selection, and I believe the error
is the same because the kernel can't tell which device is sda3, or
whatever partition you're using.
