|
Hello,
I installed Gentoo on VirtualBox 5.0.14r and kernel isn't booting. I got this very common problem "block device /dev/sda4 is not a valid root device ..." Kernel isn't listing my all partitions so I'm assuming that this is problem with driver for my IDE controller. According to lspci -k:
| Code: | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter
00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter
Kernel driver in use: e1000
Kernel modules: e1000
00:04.0 System peripheral: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Guest Service
00:05.0 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801AA AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: Dell 82801AA AC'97 Audio Controller
Kernel driver in use: snd_intel8x0
Kernel modules: snd_intel8x0
00:07.0 Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 08)

Subsystem: Intel Corporation 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Bridge
00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01)
Kernel driver in use: ata_piix
Kernel modules: ata_piix, pata_acpi, ata_generic
00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801HM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) SATA Controller [AHCI mode] (rev 02)
Kernel driver in use: ahci
Kernel modules: ahci
00:1f.4 USB controller: Apple Inc. KeyLargo/Intrepid USB
Kernel driver in use: ohci-pci
Kernel modules: ohci_pci
00:1f.5 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller
Kernel driver in use: ehci-pci
Kernel modules: ehci_pci

I must have ata_piix driver. And I compiled ata_piix driver into kernel. Here's my config file:

So eventually I don't know why kernel isn't booting. I tried with various configurations I was reading posts on forum and I'm stuck. Maybe my /etc/fstab is wrong:
| Code: | # /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.
/dev/sda2/ /boot/ ext3 noauto,noatime 0 2
/dev/sda4/ / jfs defaults 0 1
/dev/sda3/ none swap sw 0 2
/dev/cdrom/ /mnt/cdrom/ auto noauto,ro 0 0

Thanks for any help.

Hello,
Eventually I was able to solve this problem. As it was just VirtualBox install I simply reinstalled Gentoo using ext4 instead of jfs. And now everythink is booting fine. I know that it's very poor solution. I think problem was with configuration of jfs not with IDE controller (because in virtual machine virtual IDE controller is the same) but I didn't know how to cope with jfs misconfiguration so reinstalling system was best for me. |
