 |
|
Here is the output:
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem)
Mounted devfs on /dev
Gentoo initrd startup...
STEP 1: Command-line parsing
STEP 2: Module loading
---- Scanning for uhci..skipping usbcore, module already loaded by us
---- Scanning for hid..no such module found
---- Scanning for usb-storage..no such module found
---- Scanning for ieee1394..no such module found
---- Scanning for ohci1394..no such module found
---- Scanning for eth1394..no such module found
---- Scanning for sbp2..no such module found
STEP 3: Mounting neccessary filesystems per boot options
STEP 4: Determining root device
STEP 4a: Mounting root
mount: Mounting /dev/hda3 on /newroot failed: Invalid argument
Could not mount specified ROOT, try again
Root block device unspecified or not detected.
Please specify a device to boot, or "shell" for a shell
:
The grub.conf looks just like the install docs wants it to, the partitions look just like the install docs suggest (hda1 - /boot ext2, hda2 - swap, hda3 - root reiserfs)
Anyone? I´ve tried with many grub.cfg setups and kernel compiles without success! |

Looks like you are using the newer genkernel3. Did you specify real_root = /dev/hda3 in your grub.conf?
| Code: |
root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/hda3
|
See the informal genkernel 3 HowTo here:

Oh, and did you include reiserfs support in the kernel, not as a module? I know it should work as a module, but why chance it.  |
