Hi,

The message is:
"Kernel Panic: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-blocl (0,1)"

fdisk -l says something like:

Code:

/dev/sda1 boot-partition ext2
/dev/sda2 windows vista NTFS
/dev/sda3 windows vista backup NTFS
/dev/sda4 extended
/dev/sda5 swap linux-swap
/dev/sda6 root

my fstab says

Code:

/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 12
/dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda6 / ext3 noatime 0 1

my grub.conf says

Code:

title=Gentoo linux (..)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.25-gentoo-r9 root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/sda1

Is there an obvious mistake or any other information I could provide?

Please help me and thanks a lot in advance!

Hello. I think that your real root must be sda6 as described in fdisk "/dev/sda6 root" and your kernel parameter should be like real_root=/dev/sda6 Try that or try root=/dev/sda6 only Cheers Kosmas.
