This message I get when I try to boot Gentoo. My partition table looks like this:

/dev/hda1 windows
/dev/hda2 boot
/dev/hda3 swap
/dev/hda4 root

on boot I set ext2 (with mke2fs /dev/hda2), on root ext3 (mke2fs -j /dev/hda4).

fstab (only ROOT line):
Code:
/dev/ROOT / ext3 noatime 0 1


When booting Linux, it stops with the following:
No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/ROOT
This might be interesting, or importaint: when I mount dev/hda4 it returns warning ex2_fill_super: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2.

How to correct this?

Try to change your fstab, instead of
Code:
/dev/ROOT
use
Code:
/dev/hda4

Do you suppose to change /dev/ROOT to /dev/hda4? I knew that RedHat uses this kind of scheme, but I never know that gentoo use it too.
