I'm getting the following error when trying to boot my system:

Code:

UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(9,2)


Up until that error, the system correctly initializes my RAID1 array (/dev/md0 - boot, /dev/md1 - swap and /dev/md2 - root)

I found an erronous CD-rom entry in my /etc/fstab file (current version below), which I removed earlier. I can reboot from LiveCD and make changes to the system, but this takes a while since I manually have to type out the /etc/raidtab file everytime I do this (perhaps there's an easier way but this at least works) - I've tried recompiling the Kernel several times, to no avail.

I've tried using mkinitrd, which also did nothing.

/etc/fstab wrote:

Code:

/dev/md0     /boot     ext2    noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/md2     /         reiser4 noatime,notail 0 0
/dev/md1     none      swap    sw             0 0

none         /proc     proc    defaults       0 0
 
none         /dev/shm  tmpfs   defaults       0 0



Computer Specs:
Asus A7V600-X Motherboard
AMD Sempron 2500+
Twin 80GB SATA RAID1 harddrives
512MB 400Mhz DDR Ram
ATI Rage Fury 32MB Graphics card (old one)
52x CD-Rom player

2.6.9-r1 (gentoo-dev-sources)

To be honest I never really saw an option for Reiser4 in the Kernel setup - should I have looked on the Reiser4 LiveCD for sources rather than downloading them through emerge?

well i don't think reiser4 is in gentoo-dev-sources...
you either have to patch it yourself or use different kernel
nitro-sources and mm-sources include it

I guess I'll be recompiling my Kernel again then :-)

Thanks for your help

And remember: in order to enable reiser4, you must remove the 4k stack option from kernel hacking

I did - it compiled, and succesfully booted my system this time - except it complained that I didn't include DevFS support, so I'll recompile it one final time
