I have a Duron 600 MHz.

This is in my grub.conf:

Code:

default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.11.5
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.11.5 root=/dev/hda1


I didn't use genkernel!!!

Hope you can help me.

Unless you put your kernel in / instead of /boot, your root partition cannot be /dev/hda1
/dev/hda1 is your /boot partition (hd0,0)
Your root partition is the partiton on which you mounted /boot. This is probably /dev/hda2 or /dev/hda3

Thanks for you fast answer...

Didn't know what I was thinkin' about when setting this... ;)

So I changed it to

Code:
[...] root=/dev/hda3


Now I get the follwoing error

Quote:

Failed to open the device '/dev/hda3': No such file or directory


But a few lines before, it tells me, that my ReiserFS Partition was mounted successfully... :(

Check if /proc is mounted with /bin/mount
If it's mounted, try /fdisk -l again
