I apologize if this has been asked. I scoured the forum and couldn't find my particular issue.

After I went through the minimal livecd for amd64 I rebooted and the boot freezes with a screen that says:


Booting 'Gentoo Linux 3.4.9'

root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.4.9-gentoo real_root=/dev/sda3
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3400, size=0x324810]

appears to be a bad grub.conf --
boot cd, enter chroot
Code:
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys
mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
emerge wgetpaste
wgetpaste  /boot/grub/grub.conf
ls -l /boot | wgetpaste
post the url's returned

jk1217NIU.

Try changing the grub kernel line to:
Code:
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.4.9-gentoo root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/sda3

BillWho,

I made the change you suggested, sadly the problem still remains. The only change from the initial problem is that now the kernel line includes root=/dev/ram0

jk1217NIU,

Try appending rootfstype=ext3 or whatever your '/' partition type is. If that fails, try removing root=/dev/ram0

BillWho,

I apologize but I am unclear. Where should I make these changes?

jk1217NIU,

Code:
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.4.9-gentoo root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/sda3 rootfstype=ext3

or
Code:
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.4.9-gentoo real_root=/dev/sda3 rootfstype=ext3

If your '/' partition is ext4 then rootfstype=ext4 :wink:

the 2nd option with addition of rootfstype=ext3 and removal of root=/dev/ram0 appears to have worked.

Onto The next stages!

Thank you very much
