use
part of mine shows
| Code: | Device: 00:14.0
Class: SMBus
Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc
Device: SBx00 SMBus Controller
SVendor: Giga-byte Technology
SDevice: Device 4385
Rev: 3c
Module: i2c-piix4
Device: 00:14.1
Class: IDE interface
Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc
Device: SB700/SB800 IDE Controller
SVendor: Giga-byte Technology
SDevice: Device 5002
ProgIf: 8a
Driver: pata_atiixp
|
it shows drivers needed.
for a head start go to pappy's kernel seeds.
read up. then pick your arch, x86 or x86-64 on his site . pick your kernel version. you can right click and save as
(change 2.6.30-gentoo-r9-x86_64-07.config to .config)
you can download right into
you still have to check what you need but pappy has cleaned out a lot of stuff you don't need.
in menuconfig you can type / for help. example type / and pata_atiixp to find out where the setting for this driver is. be sure to compile in drivers needed to boot your hard drives and file systems. and look at
Gentoo Linux nVidia Guide before making kernel.
hope this helps. have fun. |

Yay! A kernel panic. Oh well. Posting the output usually works good:
Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up.
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown-block(2,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
----There was nothing in between the last line and the next one.----
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0)
This was the text displayed on my screen. |

Ok, can you boot from a LiveCD,chroot your box and post this :
| Code: |
# fdisk -l
# lspci -kvm
# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
# cat /etc/fstab

Same result. Kernel panic. Do you think making sdb3 hdb3 will work? |

dragos240,
The driver for your hard drive is missing.
Its like this Intel one but you need The nVidia SATA and AMD/Nvidia PATA options on the SATA menu. Built in, not modules.

Thanks! I'm off to make menuconfig!
I just checked! Those options were not tic'ed! I tic'ed them twice, so their not going to be modules. Let's see if it boots  .

also,
in your fstab this line is wrong. It should be pointing at a real device, such as /dev/sdb2
/dev/SWAP none swap sw 0 0 |

Okay! It booted..... with many errors.
But at least I could login. Right now, I tried ifconfig -a.
What I got was this:
dummy0 and lo
Hmm..... What modules do I load. I use a rt61 wireless PCI card. I got the firmware for it. I just don't know what modules to load. Also, alsa didn't start. Is there any way I can get a log of my bootup? |

dragos240,
Your boot log, such as it is, is in dmesg. Run to read it all.
Put your rt61 firmware into /lib/firmware and make wireless support and Ralink Support as modules.
While you are in make menuconfig, make friends with its search. Press /
When thats right you will have a wlan0 interface.
To make it work, you will need wireless tools and optionally wpa_supplicant, depending on your wireless encryption requirements.
Alsa has some userspace tools. When you have emerged them, add alsasound to the default runlevel, so it starts at boot.
There is a whole guide about alsa.
