PPC installation problem (unable to mount root)

sysadmin

I am having the exact problem as this user; not being able to mount root after compiling the kernel.

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-375489.html

I tried following the directions as said on the thread above, I guess I am missing something?
I am trying hard to keep posting to a minimum. Can someone please look at my .config file and let me know what necessary changes I must make (if any)?

Config file:

Thank you

Dave

That doesn't look like your whole .config...

What's the exact error you're getting? Can you provide the 5 lines before the error?

Sorry Jose, I have begun a new installation and I seem to be running into the same problem. I am in the process of compiling the kernel. Here is the complete .config file. If this won't help please let me know so I can update this post.

Thank you,

When I enter device drivers >>> ATA/ATAPI support and choose Built in PowerMac support I get this big fat error when compiling the kernel:

livecd linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r10 # make && make modules_install

Please let me know if I am missing something, I think I am running near the ends with this Gentoo Install; unless anybody want chroot access to fixi mi problimi

Anywho, I hope someone may be able to help.

Thanks,
