|
|
I installed Gentoo on my E450, but I still have some problem with Silo. The error msg is like this:
Code: | kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k ****, errno=8
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k ****, errno=8
|
and then:
Code: | VFS: Cannot open root device "sda4" or (**:**)
Please append a correct "root:" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on (**:**)
Press L1-A to return to the boot prom |
I googled but find nothing and in the forum I found this post.
My partitions:
Code: | livecd / # fdisk /dev/sda
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda (Sun disk label): 64 heads, 32 sectors, 8637 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes

My fstab:

Question: I find the last line in the manual, so I add it. But in this post, the author didnt add this line. I'm confused, should I add this line or not?
I think I must missed some driver in my kernel. Is there something that must include in the kernel for an E450? |
