I am having some difficulties after the initial installation. After attempting to use the Genkernel, i kept getting Block device /dev/sda3 is not a valid root device, so I copied the kernel from the livecd and attempted to boot. With that I am getting
fstab
| Code: | /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda3 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/SWAP none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0 |
grub.conf
| Code: | default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Gentoo
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/gentoo root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/sda3 doscsi vga=791 splash=silent
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/gentoo.igz |
error at boot
| Code: | Booting (initramfs)>> ERROR: your real /dev is missing file required to boot (console and null)
switch_root: can't open '/dev/console': no such file or directory
kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init!
pid: 1, comm: switch_root Not tainted 2.6.37-gentoo-r4 #1 |
I have already confirmed that my /dev/console /dev/null /dev/zero is present in the /dev folder of my install.

Looks like that may be the issue but I'm not sure how to create all of those folders and set the permissions. The link just says that is what needs to be done, not how to do it. I will work on this later, thanks for the info!
