Hi all,
I use "genkernel all" to compile kernel and modules but after I reboot I got following message at boot time:

Code:
 ...
ieee1394/ohci1394.ko loaded
---- Detected ochi1394 hardware
---- Scanning for sbp2....module /lib/modules/2.6.3-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/sbp2.ko loaded
---- Detected sbp2 hardware
STEP3: Mounting necessary filesystems per boot options
Started device management daemon v1.3.25 for /dev
STEP4: Determining root device
Root block device unspecified or not detected.
Please specify a device to boot, or "shell" for a shell
:


then I typed "shell" in the prompt and looked at /dev and I can't find any /dev/sd* devices at all. Originally I installed gentoo root ("/") on /dev/sdc3 and I suspect no SATA driver are loaded so I looked at /lib/modules and I can't find any module that looks like a SiI 3512A ATA driver. Just wondering is that because genkernel doesn't compile SATA driver at all?

I found I did something wrong as I should use
Code:
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.4.24 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/hda3

instead of
Code:
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.4.24 root=/dev/hda3

since I use non-GRP genkernel, so I changed that at grub prompt however I still see
Code:
 ...
ieee1394/ohci1394.ko loaded
---- Detected ochi1394 hardware
---- Scanning for sbp2....module /lib/modules/2.6.3-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/sbp2.ko loaded
---- Detected sbp2 hardware
STEP3: Mounting necessary filesystems per boot options
Started device management daemon v1.3.25 for /dev
STEP4: Determining root device
Root block device unspecified or not detected.
Please specify a device to boot, or "shell" for a shell
:

so I just mass around by typing
Code:
/dev/ram0

and it actually does something and the output is
Code:
STEP 4a: Mounting root
STEP 5: Finishing up
STEP 5b: setting up stuff for pivot_root
STEP 5c: redirect console
STEP 6: pivot_root and exec/chroot real init
umount: Cannot open /proc/mounts
/bin/sh: /sbin/blockdev: not found
INIT: starting /sbin/init root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/sda3 console=tty0
exec: 3: /sbin/init: not found
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

can someone tell me what the @%#$ is going on?
