Hi

I installed Gentoo 4 times today using stage 3 but while the first booting of system the kernel panic message appears

[...]
EXT2-FS:ide0(3,8) couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (4).
Kernel Panic:VFS;Unable to mount root fs on 03:08

I don't really know what happened. It seems that I enabled all required options for Kernel-2.4.26-gentoo-r6
I really Need Help Please

Thanks

I'm guessing that you compiled support for your filesystem as a module instead of compiling it as part of the kernel. What filesystem are you using? (looks like ext3...) and have you got support for it in the kernel?

HI

Thanks for the help. I remember that I leave the EXT3 & 2 FS as modules. but how can I verify this? I chroot my installation using my livecd and /usr/src/ directory is empty. Beside, when I opended /etc/fstab all infos that put it in are lost.

Code:
mount /dev/hdaX /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/hdaY /mnt/gentoo/boot
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash

This does actually nothing more than starting a new shell. steel300 posted the correct way.
But I would run the following extra commands after the chroot command:
Code:

env-update
. /etc/profile

This sets up your new environment correctly by re-setting the path, recreating the linker cache and such...
