While trying to get sound and Firefox to work for my system, I was told that Vanilla sources work for my situation. After emerging and compilng I try booting with it, and I get the following...

Code:


INIT: version 2.84 booting
/sbin/rc : line 1: /dev/null : Read-only file system
/sbin/rc : line 1: /dev/null : Read-only file system

Gentoo Linux; http://www.gentoo.org/
 Copyright ...yadda..yadda

Mounting proc at /proc...
7G[ oops ]line 26: /dev/null: Read-only file system

 * The "try" command failed with error:

line 1:/dev/null: Read-only file system

 * Since this is a critical task, startup cannot continue.

Give root password for maintenance


My only thought is that is *has* to be something with this kernel because gentoo-dev-sources (2.6.8 ) and even mm1-sources will boot on my system. But another odd note is that gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.9 act the same way Vanilla does... Help?
