This happens as soon as I boot off the Gentoo install image, 1.4-rc4:
Ramdisk: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
read_super_block: can't find a reiserfs filesystem on (dev 01:00 block 64, size 1024)
read_super_block: can't find a reiserfs filesystem on (dev 01:00 block 8, size 1024)
XFS: Bad magic number
XFS: Bad magic number
kernel panic: VFS unable to mount root fs on 01:00

What's wrong?

your kernel cannot find the root partition, perhaps you did'nt set the right partition in lilo.conf or grub config. Try passing root=/dev/hd[*] to your kernel or reboot with the livecd and reconfigure your bootloader

Hmmm, looks like it's broken. :wink:

A description of your hardware would be helpful.

I just popped the CD in, not even installed!

My system is an Athlon Xp 1.6 with a ECS Motherboard, 512 MB RAM, and Riva TNT2.

Try booting one of the other kernels on the CD.
Code:
boot: smp

or

boot: acpi

or

boot: nofb

or maybe some kernel options
Code:
boot: gentoo noraid acpi=off
