Description myron b cheung 2004-01-14 18:57:57 UTC

After building kernel-2.4.22-gentoo-r5 and initrd-2.4.22-gentoo-r5, the kernel fails to mount the root device (which is my /dev/hda3, a reiserfs) at boot time.

My grub.conf looks like this:

#
# GRUB boot menu configuration file
#

# Boot automatically after 30 secs.
timeout 30

# By default, boot the first entry.
default 0

# Fallback to the second entry.
fallback 1

splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

# For booting GNU/Linux
title  GNU/Linux Gentoo
root (hd0,1)

###  new boot config for genkernel 3.0.1 which fails
#kernel /boot/kernel-2.4.22-gentoo-r5 hdc=ide-scsi root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/hda3 video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=0x317
#initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.22-gentoo-r5

### old boot config that works
kernel /boot/kernel-2.4.22-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/hda3 hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.22-gentoo-r3
