Hi,

I've got 2 questions:

after installing everything from a stage1 I wanted to boot into my new install but I keep getting this error message:

Code:

mount_dev_fs(): unable to mount devfs, err: -2
Freeing unused kernel memory: 176k freed
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel
<3>ohci1394: fw-host0: SelfID received outside of bus reset sequence


Now, my fstab looks like this:

Code:

/dev/hda9   /boot     ext2    defaults,noatime     1 2
/dev/hda10   none      swap    sw                   0 0
/dev/hda11   /         ext3    noatime              0 1

none        /proc     proc    defaults             0 0
none        /dev/shm  tmpfs   nodev,nosuid,noexec  0 0

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0    /mnt/cdrom    auto      noauto,user    0 0


and my GRUB config:
Code:

# Which listing to boot as default. 0 is the first, 1 the second etc.
default 0
# How many seconds to wait before the default listing is booted.
timeout 30
# Nice, fat splash-image to spice things up :)
# Comment out if you don't have a graphics card installed
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.10-r6
# Partition where the kernel image (or operating system) is located
root (hd0,8)
kernel /kernel-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda9

# The next four lines are only if you dualboot with a Windows system.
# In this case, Windows is hosted on /dev/hda6.
title=Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,5)

Now I compiled my kernel with dev_fs support but could someone please tell me whats going on here?

The other error is when I try to emerge the nforce-audio package:

Code:

!!! Function src_compile, Line 27, Exitcode 2


Which I'm assuming has something to do with:

Code:

from nvhw.c:16:
/usr/src/linux/include/asm/irq.h:16:25: irq_vectors.h: No such file or directory


Is the latter error something I can fix myself?

Cheers,
Rob.

Try

Code:
kernel /kernel-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda11

instead of

Code:
kernel /kernel-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda9


in your grub.conf.

With regards to nForce audio... The drivers are very buggy. I suggest using the included Intel 8xx or Intel 8x0 drivers (they work just fine and they are part of the Linux kernel source tree, you just need to compile them as modules or directly into the kernel). If you absolutely have to use the nForce drivers, then either download and install them manually (i.e. using the nVidia installer rather than emerge) or try an earlier version (e.g. emerge -av "<nforce-audio-x" where x is the version of the package you were trying to merge).
