 |
|
ok.. lets hope i say this all right cause I am a big linux newbie and I get tired of again booting up by CD, mounting, chrouting, etc. 
I get the error:
| Code: |
"block device /dev/sda3 is not a valid root device...
the root block device is unspecified or not detected.
please specify a device to boot, or "shell" for a shell..."
|
I used genkernel (after the damn manual kernel failed in bootup with sda3 aswell)
I got linux 2004.2, kernel-2.4.26-gentoo-r6. Followed the manual.
Also i run this in VMWare. My host has a RAID0 config, but VMware is not setup as such. (should see it as normal SQCI disks)
my lilo.conf has the next info (after GRUB failed on a manual kernel, before I did the genkernel thing):
| Code: |
boot=/dev/sda
prompt
timeout=50
default=gentoo
vga=788
image=/boot/kernel-2.4.26-gentoo-r6
label=gentoo
read-only
root=/dev/ram0
append="init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda3"
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.26-gentoo-r6
|
fstab:
| Code: |
/dev/BOOT /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/ROOT / xfs noatime 0 0
/dev/SWAP none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext3 noatime 0 1
none /proc openpromfs defaults 0 0
|

hope someone here knows the answer, sime I am to stupid to find ti.  |

I've resolve problem.
You have to recompile your kernel with BusLogic (or LSI) SCSI support. |

It does not look terrible, by the way, how many tab's or spaces doesnt really matter.
But i do recommend deleting /dev/SWAP /dev/ROOT and /dev/BOOT.
They don't serve any purpose :)
