 |
|
Hi all!
Just recently started useing Gentoo and I love it. Got into a little trouble, though.
I installed bootsplash folowing the indications in the tutorial; after restarting i got a kernel panic saying it cannot mount root file system (reiserfs) because it is not reiserfs.
I booted Knoppix and checked for errors. The partition is fine.
Any ideas?

| silly question, but is the partition reiserFS? Give us some more info on your partition type. also what kernel params are you using? what file system modules are loading? are they modules, or compiled into the kernel? |

Yes!!! The partition is reiserfs. Filesystem support is not compiled as a module. I changed nothing in the kernel configuration (since last compile) except the framebuffer option to load bootsplash instead of logo.
Here's my partition table:
/dev/hda1 1 2 16033+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 * 3 53 409657+ 6 FAT16
/dev/hda3 54 308 2048287+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda4 309 4865 36604102+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 309 1001 5566491 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 1002 1040 313236 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda7 1041 1550 4096543+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda8 1551 4865 26627706 b Win95 FAT32
And here are my config files:
/etc/lilo.conf:
| Code: |
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=30
lba32
default=Linux
image=/boot/bzImage
label=Linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda
vga=791
append="hdc=ide-scsi video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr"
initrd=/boot/initrd-1024x768
other=/dev/hda2
label=Windows
|
/etc/fstab
| Code: |
/dev/hda1 /boot ext3 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda5 / reiserfs noatime,notail 0 0
/dev/hda6 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/hda8 /mnt/moby vfat defaults,noexec,umask=0000 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
|
Also, here's the kernel boot screen (ironicaly, bootsplash seems to be working)  :

Have you tried the "--nopivot" mkinitrd option?
I had the same problem as you, and it worked then. |

I don't know about that. I found my problem: i must have erased a "5" in my lilo.conf when i added the initrd line because when i looked i had root=/dev/hda instead of /dev/hda5.  Was to tired last night to notice that.
Thanks anyway.
