 |
|
Hello, everyone
Hello everyone,
I am encountering an issue while trying to boot my Gentoo system using LILO as the bootloader. The error message I receive is:
| Code: | | Block device 801 is not a valid root device |
Here are some details about my setup:
Partition and Filesystem:
: 70 GB, marked as bootable and configured as the root partition (/).
Configuration of /etc/lilo.conf:
| Code: | boot=/dev/sda
prompt
timeout=50
default=gentoo
image=/boot/vmlinuz-6.6.30-gentoo
label=gentoo
read-only
root=/dev/sda
initrd=/boot/initramfs-6.6.30-gentoo.img |
Configuration of :
| Code: | | /dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1 |
Steps I Have Already Tried:
Rebuilt the initramfs:
| Code: | | genkernel --install initramfs |
Reinstalled LILO:
What should i do? |

| From what you've shown, I believe the "root=/dev/sda" parameter should be "root=/dev/sda1" in lilo. |
