My setup:
windows: Sda1

kubuntu home:Sda8

If you need my kernel config just say so. but won't post it now because it is huge...


I have followed the gentoo handbook for x86.
but when i try to boot it just says
BTW i have also used some of the info at: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Lenovo_Thinkpad_T61

Code:

Checking root filesystem ...
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sda3
/dev/sda3:

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

Filesystem couldn't be fixed :( [!!]
Give the root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):



I have read this post : http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-658628.html
It looks like the same problem.

Fdisk:

mr.coday,

The system has found the kernel and the kernel has mounted the root filesystem.
I suspect that you have (real_)root=/dev/hda3 in grub.conf, so that works and /dev/sda in /etc/sftab, so that fails.

Its all caused by enabling both PATA and SATA drivers for your disk controller chipset.
If lspci shows you have an Intel ICHx chipset for x = 6..9 then you need this kernel setup

Now i have tried what was said in the link but it still dosen't work, hmm.
Stupid me.

I have looked at what it says when it starts there is also another error:

Code:
starting udev ...
udevd[1118]: init_udevd_socket: error getting socket: Address family not supported by protocol
error initializing udev socket
udevd[1118] main: error initializing udevd socket



Edit: BTW i have "sda" and not "hda" in grub.conf .

Sounds like you forgot to compile Unix domain sockets into your kernel in Network>Network options.

mr.coday,

If udev cannot run then /dev will not be populated and none of your hard drive nodes will exist.

Check what DownSet said.
