Hello ! I am realy a beginner at Linux, and i am trying to get Gentoo work with my Epia Via C3 Nemiah. I have followed the Handbook (I hope), and have looked at some Epia HOWTO's on how to configure the kernel. (manual config) I configured the needed devices as built in, and nothing as a module. I have a primary ide-disk on the first IDE-channel, /dev/hda when I boot the minimal installation cd. Use tha handbook's partition's. And use lilo, as in the examples. But when I reboot i get: VFS: Cannot open root device "303" or unknown-block (3,3) Please append a correct boot option; here are the available: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,3) Please help me, as I don't know what to try next. Does anyone have a .config-file that works with the Epia card ? / Thomas
