I get the message:
"Determining root device...
The root block device is unspecified or not detected.
Please specify a device to boot, or "shell" for a shell..."
when i boot my box.
typing /dev/hda3 boots to a normal working system (well sort of but thats another story/post:( )
as far as im aware i didnt do anything between it working and not but again thats up for debate...
any help would be greatly appreciated.
grub.conf as follows:
| Code: | default 0
timeout 5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.10-r6
root (hd0,2)
kernel /kernel-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc
ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3
initrd /initrd-2.6.10-gentoo-r6
