Unfortunately, I left it at office. The main 'trap' usually would be the SCSI Driver. If you're using PVSCSI, go into SCSI & RAID, then SCSI Low Level Driver, then select VMware PVSCSI as built-in, not module. If you're using LSI Logic, select Fusion MPT instead. Don't forget to emerge grub and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst (and please excuse my top-posting. Gmail mobile can only top post; it hides the message being replied, and automatically appends the message after mine) Rgds, On 2011-04-09, Adam Carter wrote: > Hi All, > > I'm getting the usual cant boot root device error on my gentoo guest.
