Hello!

Just installed Gentoo on my new comp. Grub seams to be working fine but when I boot up I get this error:

Code:

Root-NFS: No NFS server availible, giving up.
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER

VFS: Cannot open root device "hdj3" or unknown-block (2,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option.
Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (2,0)


This is my grub.conf:

Code:

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.15
root (hd0,0)
kernel /linux-2.6.15 root=/dev/hdj3


On startup when the splashscreen shows i pressed 'c' (enter grub) and write '/' (tab) and grub confirmed that /linux-2.6.15 can be found on root (hd0,0).

This is my fstab:

Code:

/dev/hdj1   /boot        ext2    defaults,noatime     1 2
/dev/hdj2   none         swap    sw                   0 0
/dev/hdj3   /            ext3    noatime              0 1

none        /proc        proc    defaults             0 0
none        /dev/shm     tmpfs   nodev,nosuid,noexec  0 0

/dev/cdrom  /mnt/cdrom   auto    noauto,user          0 0

I think im probably missing something in the kernel but im not sure. I have tried both gentoo-sources 2.6.15 and 2.6.17 and the end result is the same,,,

Im runing a Intel Core 2 Duo processor and Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 (motherboard? not sure whats it called in english...). My harddrive is connected to my IDE cable as Slave and CDROM is on Master.

Not sure what im missing... please help.

Don't have time to completely check your settings, but at least "/dev/hdj" is wrong (think it should be "/dev/hdb").

Cheers,

(hd0,0) is /dev/hda1, perhaps your grub.conf should be
Code:

kernel /linux-2.6.15 root=/dev/hda3
with your /etc/fstab being

People have been having problems with this chipset, here's one thread Intel Core 2 system woes (JMicron, JMB363 and other...) and Gentoo 2006.1 livecd with JMicron-Support (JMB363/361/36x) talks about using (and, therefore, presumably, needing) the Linux 2.6.18-rc4-no2 kernel.

Hello!

Dont understand how it can be hda och hdb when I only can find hdi (cdrom) and hdj (disk) in /dev/ ? But I will try :)

dmesg:

I might add that in order to get the Gentoo installation going i need to add 'all-generic-ide' to the kernel on startup... maybe that helps? I havnt been able to get any other dist but Gentoo to install on this peace of hardware....

if it helped on the livecd, it sure should help on the installed linux as well ;)

it really could be that the kernel simply changes around hd* disks. maybe the one on the livecd has a different order of initialising things than the installed one -- tends to happen with scsi disks and usb drives for some people, so it could be that your hdj on the livecd turns into hdb on the regular installation.

I tried both hda and hdb now but still the same error (changing back to hdj).

When I earlier tried to install grub i found that it had a hard time finding the harddrive. grub-install was returning an error saying that BIOS could not find the harddrive. I fixed it by adding hd0 /dev/hdj to /boot/grub/device.map... Maybe that only fixed grubs problem..... and not the "drive not beeing found" issue?

i just did something that gave me a clue i think... I installed genkernel and ended up getting an similar error where the root device could not be found but this time I entered a shell and went to /dev/ directory and there where basically no drives there.....

Any ideas??

Solution in grub.conf:

Code:

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.15
root (hd0,0)
kernel /linux-2.6.15 root=/dev/hdj3 all-generic-ide


I needed to add all-generic-ide to the kernel at boot. :)

Hi, i have the same problem like nr5 had.(kernel 2.6.19, gentoo-source)
Code:
Root-NFS: No NFS server availible, giving up.
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER

VFS: Cannot open root device "sda7" or unknown-block (2,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option.
Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (2,0)


my grub:
Code:
default 0

timeout 10

splashimage=(hd0,5)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.19-gentoo-r5
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.19-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/sda7 all-generic-ide

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.18-gentoo-r2
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.18-gentoo-r2 root=/dev/sda7

title=Widnows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1


i added "all-generic-ide" and nothing happend:/.
Interesting, when i choose the second title, Gentoo Linux 2.6.18-gentoo-r2, linux starts up without any problems.

subox,

It looks like you have configured your kernel to mount its root filesystem over NFS. Turn off that option and rebuild your kernel.

subox,

You have
Code:
unknown-block (0,0)
on the 4th line from the bottom.

Either SCSI support is missing or your SATA chip set driver is missing or MSDOS partition Table Support is missing from your kernel. They all must be built in.
