|
|
Hi.
When I start it up, I get this error:
[code]VFS: Cannnot open root device "dev/sda3" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
0b00 1038575 sr0 driver: sr
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
Pid: 1, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.4.9-gentoo #2

panic+0xb8/0x1c3
? printk+0x3c/0x3e
mount_block_root+0x150/0x1f0

Then it freezes and I have to turn off the power.
Partition sheme is:
/dev/sda3 root
/dev/sda2 swap 6GB
/dev/sda1 boot 32M
My hard drive is PM-Maxtor 2B020H1 19GB
My computer has two other hard drives.

VideoCard: AMD nee ATI RS880 [Radeon HD 4200]

Welcome, Kas_!
The error you are getting implies your kernel is unable to access hard drive, possibly because it does not know how to deal with controller. While ahci should be the correct driver ... your lspci tells your controller is in IDE mode. Have you tried to change that? _________________ My Gentoo installation notes.

Hey Jaglover,
How exactly would I change that? Would I just configure the kernel for IDE? |

It's not letting me change it. The CPU already detects my hard drive as IDE...I can't do anything about it. I don't think gentoo requires ahci. Really, I'm just concerned about the current problem. I don't mind performance penalties. |

AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus 3.0GHz
Also, I should mention that during boot, the kernel hangs for like 2 minutes and stalls at
[code]Switching to clocksource tsc[/code]
I googled it and it seems like a problem with radeon...I'm not too sure. |

Yeah, so I hit DEL when at boot and go to the Phoenix Award Bios CMOS Setup Utility, then I got to Advanced BIOS Features...then it's a dead end because nowhere does it say anything about switching IDE to AHCI. I have Win7 but it's on a seperate hard drive but i went to regedit and edited changed the value to 0 already but I doubt it's related since the hard drive I plan to use does not have Win7 on it. |

I don't have it anymore. Basically, when I go to Standard CMOS Features -> then it says IDE Primary Master [Maxtor 2B020H1]. The description to the side says "While entering setup BIOS auto detects the presence of IDE debices. This displays the status of auto detection of IDE devices". So I select it. I get 3 choices:
[code]
LBA/Large Mode [Auto]
DMA Mode [Auto]
Hard Disk S.M.A.R.T [Auto]
[/code]
Each of the settings can be either Auto or Disabled.
System Information is
AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 640 Processor
CPUID/MicroCode 0F53/0C8
CPU Frequency 3.00GHz
BIOS Version V28.5 09092010
Physical Memory 3072MB
Cache Size 2048KB
The only thing I can change to AHCI is the On-Chip ATA Devices -> RAID Mode-->AHCI
nvm, I found the motherboard name:MSI 78GT-E63 |

That's good, I was about to download the manual. Yeah, there seems to be another problem.
I'm not sure what this means but I was saying before, Win7 is on a drive called "Hitachi...[whatever]" And that drive is true-crypted nad I think it might be trying to read the drive or it can at least detect the drive.
[code]Attached scsi generic sg0 type 5
scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA Hitachi HDS... :0 ANSI: 5

[sda] Attached SCSI disk

Here's the ending.

I have no experience with dual boot, haven't used Windows in my household since 2003. It may be sda is your Windows drive. Best setup for dual is probably to have Linux with bootloader on sda and Windows on sdb or whatever. Bootloader can be set up to swap BIOS drives for Windows so it believes it's on primary drive. Sorry, cannot help further. _________________ My Gentoo installation notes.

Idk, I don't think it's related. They're on two separate drives. It probably would be nice to get rid of windows but I rely on it too much. |

Um, you lost me now. In your initial post you said you have following error Quote: | VFS: Cannot open root device "dev/sda3" or unknown-block(0,0) |
Now you say Gentoo boots but you have RAID related issue? But you do not have any RAID set up in your box, do you?
I'd say if Gentoo boots then the next step is to get Windows booting from a secondary drive which is a matter of configuring the bootloader. _________________ My Gentoo installation notes.

Well, it does not boot all the way, sorry about the confusion. So it starts booting but does not finish booting. Also, I think the problem gets a bit deeper. I don't seem to have a make.conf in my /etc directory. I have a make.globals though. Everything else seems to be there. |
