Hi there...It's a big chance I DO love challenges cause installing Gentoo AND being a noob in the Linux world is a REAL challenge. I got through almost all my problems but one last ( I hope!) is remaining at bootup. Here's the error:
sh-2021: reiserfs_read_super: can not find reiserfs on ide0(3,5)
XFS: bad magic number
XFS: SB validate failed
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05
some info: (I did a Stage1 installation following the Installation guide. I got an Athlon-XP-Barton 2800+, 2*512mb ram (I enabled "4GB RAM" in genkernel --config)
/etc/fstab
Code: |
/dev/hda6 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda8 / reiserfs noatime,notail 0 1
/dev/hda7 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

grub.conf
Code: |
default 0

So as you see I'm dualbooting with Windows 2000, no problem here, I can boot in Windows from Grub without any problem. But when I wanna start my Gentoo, I get that error, almost at the end of bootingup... Oh yha! when I reboot with the installation cd, I can mount /dev/hda7 /mnt/tempo and read (list) what's in there so the partition is accessible.
I searched to recompile my kernel but I just dunno where to go to do it
So if u have any tips on why I can't get to the end of my boot pls tell me cause I know I'm very near to make it work. I'm new in your world guys so please be precise in your answer. Thx in advance, Peace! |

See it already ?
You're trying to mount your swap partition as root filesystem - not gonna happen |

In your Grub.conf
root=/dev/hda8
because it's your swap partition in /dev/hda7

I receive the same error message, but unless my eyes are crossing, its not the same error
Here is my fstab
/dev/sda1 /boot
/dev/sda5 /
/dev/sda6 /usr
/dev/sda7 /home
/dev/sda2 none
Here is my grub.conf
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.13
root(hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.13-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda5 udev initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.1
I think that I have everything done correctly, although I don't understand the ramdisk portion. I had to use genkernel because I couldn't get my kernel to compile correctly. Any suggestions on how to get past the error? Thanks. |

I removed the real_root and the ramdisk part. It now boots. Unsure why it is in the manual like that. Anyone have any ideas? |
