 |
|
Hi,
I tried to install Gentoo and I got through the installation procedure without problems, compiled a new kernel but I can't boot the new OS nor do I see the yaboot-menu *hrgg*
Booting from Live-CD works fine, but if I remove the CD and try to boot
into the yaboot-menu, my mac os x is always starting.
I tried to boot from CD and pass some options on the bootprompt, but it
doesn't work
using:
| Code: | | hd:11,/boot/vmlinux |
at the bootprompt, when booting from the Live-CD, gentoo starts booting
but ends up in kernel panic.
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or 08:02
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:02
<0>Rebooting in 180 seconds..
my settings:
doing a ' | Code: | | mac-fdisk -l /dev/hda |
' gives me this:
# type name size system

I've made a 'mkofboot -v' like it is described in the manual, but it
won't work for me *aaaarr*
any help would be great. |
