Hi,
I have just finished installing gentoo, however I have a kernel panic due to no initrd found followed by a message saying could not start initial console, then there is a kernel panic
I think I have screwed up something in my grub.raid1/lvm installation, here is my setup: (I have followed this http://gentoo-wiki.com/Installing_on_LVM2_And_Raid5 instructions)
/dev/sda
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda2 14 140 1020127+ 8e Linux LVM
/dev/sda3 141 4870 37993725 8e Linux LVM
/dev/sdb
/dev/sdb1 * 1 13 104391 fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sdb2 14 140 1020127+ 8e Linux LVM
/dev/sdb3 141 4870 37993725 8e Linux LVM
I have created md0 as described as raid1 using sda1 and sdb1 and it is running, even at boot it detects the raid but fails just after.
I have created two lvm's, one for swap using sda2 and sdb2, and one for root using sda3, sdb3, sdc1 and sdd1.
here is my grub.conf.
timeout 5
default 0
fallback 1
splashimage=/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Gentoo Linux 2.6.13-r6 - (mirror sda1)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.13-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/md0
any help is appreciated, this grub is giving me a serious headache...
thx

I have a very similar setup, however i use genkernel to compile my kernel. If you run it with
(and other relevant arguments) it automatically includes support for LVM in die initramfs. Of course you also need all relevant Device Mapper and LVM2 kernel options. |
