If U have the same problem ,PLZ See This Solution .
i have started with stage 3 after i faild to start with stage 1 " long time lost"
i have compiled 2.6.11.5 krnl nicely with genkernel & it boot'ed & the system started BUT WITH this error :
the system didnt detect any of my /dev/hda1 devices
i'm sure that it is the right partition it is ext3 & i made the kernel config manualy & it have ext3 built in the kernel " not module " my grub.conf is :
| Quote: |
title Gentoo (2.6.11.5smp)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/hda1 init=/linuxrc
ramdisk_size=8192
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11.5
[/size]
|
when booting , the system asking me to specify the root partition or start shell with typing shell & while i enter the shell & try to mount any partition the system tells me that there is no block device with this name !!
i realy tired with all this time gone in to tring & i think this is the last error i'll face so thanks alot too every 1 that can help me start with it.

try with a manual kernel config and a simpler boot option like this:
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.11r4
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.11r4 root=/dev/sda3
i would stop using the ramdrive and genkernel until you get a basic system up |

i found that the system couldnt detect /dev contents i wish that it is only kernel configration error becuase i reconfigured 2 kernels 1 with genkernel & 1 manualy & now they r cmopiling I hope that 1 of them will work
thanx for your tip but i tried it & the GRUB told me that this is unrecognized command " without ramdisk". |

| Make sure you have support in your kernel for the file system you are trying to mount. |

Please stop typing your first post in all big and blue letters. It is very annoying.
Write down the exact error message and then post it here. |
