I've just finished installing Gentoo on an ACEPC T11. It has a Hynix HBG4a2 emmc drive in it. I booted into the BIOS and changed to an external DVD to boot it up with the latest version of SystemRescueCD. It finds everything and allowed me to install Gentoo, following the AMD64 install manual religiously - prevents me misremembering things, with no issues. Upon reboot, it cannot find the root drive, whether it's ID'd with UUID or via /dev/mmcblk0p4. I initially assumed I forgot to make the file-system or the MMC as part of the kernel, so I went in and re-made the kernel. Still the same issue. It runs the Loading Linux version 4.20.10, Loading intial ramdisk, Activating mdext, Loading modules (virtio, nvme, pata, sata, scsi, usb, firewire, waitscan, lvm, dmraid, mdadm, fscrypto, xts) then does either cannot find root block device in UUID=4101c9a3-b2e9-44bd-8678-c730a2184f6b or root block in /dev/mmcblk0p4 is invalid.

Here is my fstab (Note I've tried using both UUID and /dev/mmcblk
Code:
root@sysresccd /root % cat /mnt/gentoo/etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed); notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency).  It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail / tail freely.
#
# The root filesystem should have a pass number of either 0 or 1.
# All other filesystems should have a pass number of 0 or greater than 1.
#
# See the manpage fstab(5) for more information.
#

# <fs>         <mountpoint>   <type>      <opts>      <dump/pass>

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
#
# NOTE: Even though we list ext4 as the type here, it will work with ext2/ext3
#       filesystems.  This just tells the kernel to use the ext4 driver.
#
# NOTE: You can use full paths to devices like /dev/sda3, but it is often
#       more reliable to use filesystem labels or UUIDs. See your filesystem
#       documentation for details on setting a label. To obtain the UUID, use
#       the blkid(8) command.

#LABEL=boot      /boot      ext4      noauto,noatime   1 2

Here is a link to the grub.cfg: https://pastebin.com/mXgK1q6B
Grub is installed to work with UEFI.
And here is my linux config: https://pastebin.com/TCMCVD0z
Grepping for MMC:
Code:
root@sysresccd /root % grep MMC /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG=y
CONFIG_MMCONF_FAM10H=y
# Supported MMC/SDIO adapters
CONFIG_MMC=y
CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK=y
CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_MINORS=8
# CONFIG_MMC_TEST is not set
# MMC/SD/SDIO Host Controller Drivers
# CONFIG_MMC_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=y
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_PCI=y
CONFIG_MMC_RICOH_MMC=y
# CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_ACPI is not set
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_PLTFM=y
# CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_F_SDH30 is not set
# CONFIG_MMC_WBSD is not set
CONFIG_MMC_TIFM_SD=y

CONFIG_MMC_CQHCI=y
# CONFIG_MMC_TOSHIBA_PCI is not set
# CONFIG_MMC_MTK is not set
# CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_XENON is not set

And grepping for EXT4:
Code:
root@sysresccd /root % grep EXT4 /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY=y
# CONFIG_EXT4_ENCRYPTION is not set
# CONFIG_EXT4_DEBUG is not set

And finally vfat:
Code:
root@sysresccd /root % grep VFAT /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_VFAT_FS=y


I built the kernal using Genkernel --menuconfig all. When that failed, I did a make menuconfig then a genkernel all. Irritatingly, some of the modules used by SyustemrescueCD do NOT appear in the .config
Code:
uname -a
Linux sysresccd 4.14.32-std522-amd64 #2 SMP Sat Mar 31 20:05:28 UTC 2018 x86_64 Intel(R) Atom(TM) x5-Z8350 CPU @ 1.44GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux


Any help will be appreciated. I really need to replace the Crap Mini running my TV.

ShadowHawkBV,

Your dmesg output from System Rescue CD would be useful. It sees your eMMC drive, so may say how.

lspci -k shows thats its not on the PCI bus, so we know its not using
Code:
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_PCI=y


It may want
Code:
# CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_ACPI is not set
but that's a guess.

lsmod:
mmc_core
mmc_block
is not enough.

You could try
Code:
zgrep MMC /proc/config.gz
on System Rescue CD if it has a /proc/config.gz
That's the running kernels .config file.

-- edit --
That grep may not be enough but you can add some context with -An (after) -Bn (before) or -Cn (context)
You need to see the whole of the MMC block, not just the lines with MMC in

ShadowHawkBV,

The messages we need are long gone from /var/log/messages.

Boot your gentoo. When it fails it should drop you to the busybox shell.
Its very basic but
Code:
ls /dev
should work.

Does /dev/mmcblk0 and its partitions appear?
If not, that's a problem.

Run the
Code:
mount
command. With no parameters it should list mounted filesystems.
/dev, /proc and /sys should all be there and populated.

Does /dev/mmcblk0p4 appear. That's your root filesystem.
It should probably be mounted at /mnt/root (thats a guess)
Code:
cat init
possibly
Code:
cat /sbin/init
will show you the init script.

We are trying to see how far it got.

Code:
genkernel all
builds the kernel with a one size fits most users, using a fixed .config file. It loads this same config every time you run it.
As you discovered, with root on eMMC, this config doesn't work.
You can tell genkernel to use the existing .config or one you have saved elsewhere. I don't know how, but
Code:
man genkernel
or
Code:
genkernel --help
may tell. I'm not a genkernel user.

Sorry of the delay in coming back with results. I got the system to boot. Then discovered that the Ethernet card is USB based, and rebuilt. Then while trying to get the sound to work, I cleaned up what I thought was cruft and nuked the workable config in favour of one that wouldn't. Long story shorter, the EMMC uses segments of the Device Drivers//MMC/SD/SDIO, Device Drivers//Serial ATA and Parallel ATA, and Device Drivers//SCSI device support, and finally Device Drivers//USB Support.

Here is a link to a more or less working (Sound is my last issue to solve) .config: https://pastebin.com/mZJUx2Me

Thank you for the help Neddy. As always, you provide the nudges in the correct direction. If and when I get this silly thing working properly, I think I'll post a complete how-to so others can enjoy the benefits.
