I had this problem too... the problem was SCSI not being compiled in my
kernel alongside the SATA driver. Remember to ensure none of them are being
built into modules.

Subject: [gentoo-user] problem with 2 partition installation from gentoo
minimal system

Hello Group, I spend a whole day trying to get this to work. 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
