First of, sorry for dual posting this.
The original post is located at the back of the grub sticky, and so its not getting any attention.

So again.. sorry and my the gods have mercy on my soul :oops:

Here goes:

Right.

Been looking through this tread and cant seem to find an answer to my troubles.
My HD partition scheme is as follows:

hi

I suspect maybe there is something in your kernel looking for NFS. Can you post your kernel config?
did you use genkernel or manual configuration? What does it say about NFS in
/usr/src/linux/.config ?
And do you have any NFS-mounted directories? try something like

hi

yes, chroot in from the liveCD. It's the only way I know.

I'm not sure what you should have. But here is an example of a gentoo machine I run:

Try losing the "/boot" from the kernel path.
Can be done from the grub menu after boot. Just highlight the Gentoo line, and hit "e" (no quotes) before the timeout expires.
Update the line, and follow the prompts.
If it works, update the grub.conf

removing /boot didnt work.

What is NFS exactly?
also, it prints out saying something about a bios error, isnt that relevant?

hi

NFS is Network File System.
If your machine is not in a unix network (LAN), you may not need it at all.
A standalone machine has its filesystem all on local disks, in contrast to a unix network, which may have some filesystems mounted by NFS, AFS, or some other shared file system.

hi again

after some web searching for the phrase "powernow-k8: BIOS error"
I now suspect you have not properly configured your kernel. Or, less likely, there is a bug in the kernel, or in some required module. But let's try to troubleshoot your kernel config first. If you can copy that into this post, it should help. I am stepping out and cannot myself answer any more for a while though. Good luck

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Duplicate Threads in favour of 2005.1-r1 VFS kernel panic.

Also, please ask a moderator to split or move your thread rather than reposting it somewhere else if you feel it's in the wrong place. (Original post was here: post 2916746).
