 |
|
Hi group,
I just install 2007.0-r1 onto a IDE partition using the instructions. Install was clean but it will not complete the boot. The kernel complains about no NFS server for the root file system. I can't provide a boot log since it panics and dies.
I am using hda7 to boot from, my grub.conf looks like this: | Code: | title GenToo
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.23 ro root=LABEL=GenToo-2007.1 rhgb quiet
|
The label on hda7 is: | Code: | $ sudo e2label /dev/hda7
GenToo-2007.1
|
Any ideas? |

| You'll need to use an initrd to be able to specify by LABEL or UUID. |

I tried that and it did not work either! I'll try it again.
I think it is something in the kernel I built? |

I changed the grub.conf to: | Code: | title GenToo
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.23 |
Now it boots but that is not what I wanted.
Looks like a bug to me! It is rejecting the 'root=' option. |
