I tried and it seems the previous problem disappeared but it throws out another error: "Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up. VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy. VFS: Cannot open root device "sda5" or unknown-block(2,0) Please append ac correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0) Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.31-gentoo-r10 #2" I searched the Internet for a while, but still can't find any solutions. The root partition is definitely sda5, as also specified in the fstab file.
