|
Hi. Im having a problem with Grub. I have installed gentoo, from stage 3, but it won't boot properly. I get an error message like:
| Code: | UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
Kernel panic - not syncing: VHS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,4) |
what does this mean?
my /etc/fstab:
| Code: |
/dev/hda2 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda4 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/hda1 /WinXP auto noatime,user 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |
my /boot/grub/grub.conf:
| Code: | default 0
timeout 15
splashimage (hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title-Gentoo Linux 2.6.14-r4 (Normal Use)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/hda4
#windows
title=Windows XP (Emergency use only)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)

that didn't change anything. i still get the error. it says "no partition found (1)" does that mean it can't find (hd0,1)? because thats where by boot partition and kernel are.
also, could this be a side effect of using reiserfs?

Grub doesn't care about your fstab. It just looks at grub.conf

Are you sure you included the reiserfs driver in your kernel?
