Hy all. I'm install the Gentoo and one problem.

I'm emerge gentoo-sources and emerge genkernel then genkernel all . Program terminated normally. And then emerge lilo, the options genkernel. The end reboot, and boot errors:

Boot Error:
Code:
Block device /dev/sda3 is not a valid root device...
The root block device is unspecified or not detected.
Please specify a device to boot, or "sheel" for a sheel...
boot() ::


My fstab:
Code:
/dev/sda1         /boot         ext2         noauto,noatime           1     2
/dev/sda3         /                ext3         noatime                       0     1
/dev/sda2         none         swap        sw                               0     0


And lilo.conf file:
Code:
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout 50
lba32
default=gk_linux
image=/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.20-gentoo-r8
label=gk_linux
root=/dev/sda3
initrd=/boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.20-gentoo-r8
append="root=/dev/sda3 init=/linuxrc"


What's the problem. Thank you alone too.

vasy,

append doscsi to your append statement and rerun /sbin/lilo.
I'm not sure if genkernels default configuration actually includes any SATA drivers

vasy,

Try the doscsi first. If that fails, run genkernel as you did before by add -menuconfig to its list of options.
When genkernel stops in the kernels config utility, press / and enter SATA
It will tell you where to find the SATA configuration options.

Navigate to that menu and choose the drivers for your SATA chipset as <*> not as <M>.

How do you know your options ?
lspci will show you your hardware. Look for SATA or RAID. Post the lspci output if you need more help.

When you have made your selections in menuconfig, exit and save your changes, then genkernel will continue.
Don't forget to run /sbin/lilo at the end, or your old kernel will still be used.

vasy,

You have the
Code:
00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801EB (ICH5) SATA Controller (rev 02)

Thats the Intel or PIIX option under SATA. The name was changed. It depends which kernel you have.

THX. But I'm do the kernel, and then restart the computer. This is a good boot, but emerge xorg-x11 errors. No wrong the emerge. modprobe 8139too is OK, but emerge is wrong. :(

Which the GTK+ install is good or terminal is install??? Which the good???
