cannot mount read-write after installation

[Sifro]

Hi all,
it's the first time I try to install Gentoo (i've been using Debian until now), but there is a problem.

My HD is partitioned like this:

100gB Win Primary
35gB Gentoo Primary
7gB Debian Primary

*** 2 gB Extended ***

2gB Swap Logical

So, Gentoo's boot and root partitions are the same.

In the fstab, i've added this line

/dev/sda2 / notail, noatime 0 1


but when i boot the system, it tells me that he can't mount r\w the root partition, so will mount read-only.
Then I can choose to give root password or go on, but both options don't give me a working environment.


Grub's menu.lst is on /dev/sda3 (where Debian is), i've configured it this way:

root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.19 root=/dev/sda2

What can i do? Is it ok to put both the boot and the root directories in the same reiserfs partition?

Thanks
Sifro

Ooops

I forgot to write reiserfs (but it was ok on the fstab), but the space after the comma was indeed the cause of the problem... thanks!
