Description Roelof Wobben 2011-08-14 10:33:28 UTC
When I boot with genkernel I see a message that the root partition cannot be found. 

I see these messages :

Determing root device 
Block device 813 is not a valid root device
Could not find the root block device in .



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install genkernel 
2. reboot the box 
3.
Actual Results:  
Box would not boot 

Expected Results:  
Box would boot perfect 

Here my fstab : 

dev/sdb1     /boot     ext2    defaults. noatime   1   2 
/dev/sdb2     none      swap    sw                  0   0 
/dev/sdb3    /          jfs     noatime             0   1 

/dev/cdrom  /mnt/cdrom  auto    noauto, user        0   0 

proc         /proc       proc   defaults            0   0 
shm          /dev/shm    tmpfs  nodev, nosuid,noexec 0  0 

And here's my lilo.conf:

boot = /dev/sdb1 
prompt 
timeout = 50 
default=gentoo 

image=/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.39-gentoo-r3 
  label=gentoo 
  read-only 
  append="ro real_root=/dev/sdb3" 
  initrd=/boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.39-gentoo-r3

Why is this bug resolved.
I still cannot boot my gentoo box.
