alrighty. it struck me like many others.
i have been reading through as much of the other posts as possible but there hasn't been a change in this error.
i have a kt7e via mobo. duron 800. 256MB SDRAM, 10GB -> should be running fine. i am a n00b btw.
this is the error i get. all i could i see on the screen

Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:03

i can boot with livecds, so the hard disk does exists for it
i am using grub as my boot loader. this is its config
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 5
splashimage=(hd0,0)grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.22
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)kernel-2.4.22-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/hda3
|
this is fstab
| Code: |
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 nosuto, 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
|
i use this to mount the hard disk in livecd cmd
| Code: |
# swapon /dev/<swap partition>
# mount /dev/<root partition> /mnt/gentoo
# mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
# mount /dev/<boot partition> /mnt/gentoo/boot
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update
# source /etc/profile
|
i made sure reiserfs is compile with the kernel, but it didn't make a difference to it before when it wasn't included as part fo the kernel, just a module. and i recompiled the kernel.
all the options are select in the IDE setup of menuconfig, and i have double checked all my configs.
i did read someonewhere someone thought grub didn't like his computer and so he used LILO. im not sure how to replace grub with LILO atm.
anyone know where im going wrong? |

| Are you sure you added in DEVFS support and Automatically Mount at Boot option right under DEVFS in the kernel? |
