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

   Device Flag    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1             0        48     49152   83  Linux native
/dev/sda2  u         48      1025   1000448   82  Linux swap
/dev/sda3             0      8637   8844288    5  Whole disk
/dev/sda4          1025      8637   7794688   83  Linux native


My fstab:
Code:
/dev/sda1               /boot           ext2            noauto,noatime  1 2
/dev/sda4               /               ext3            noatime         0 1
/dev/sda2               none            swap            sw              0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0      /mnt/cdrom      iso9660         noauto,ro       0 0
none                    /proc           proc            defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/shm        tmpfs           nodev,nosuid,noexec     0 0
none                    /proc/openprom  openpromfs      defaults        0 0

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?

Thanks all
