Hi, I've taken this to the gentoo-user list without
success so far.
The problem is a kernel panic I can't seem to find
the cause for. grub finds the drive OK:
grub>kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda6
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x120,size=0x1463b31]
The fs on / is reiserfs and yes, reiser support is
_in_ the kernel. I can mount the drive from another gentoo distro, chroot to it
and run programs, pon, emerge nano etc. Just can't boot into it. The drive is a
SATA and the appropriate config option NV_SATA is compiled _into_ the kernel. It
appears in dmesg:
sda1 sda2 <sda5 sda6 sda7>
sda1 is WinXP, which boots OK. sda2 is my gentoo
boot partition and grub has no problem w/ that either. 5 is swap and 7 is
/home.
The last coherent boot console message
is
Using IPI shorcut mode
then the panic:
Kernel Panic-not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root
fs on unknown block (0,0)
That block number changes depending on what other
drives are present on the system but the Panic occurs nonetheless.
Any help appreciated.
