I use genkernel 3_beta_6 with gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r5 Explain to me please as of it will save? [code] Gentoo initrd startup... STEP 1: Command line parsing STEP 2: Module loading STEP 3: Mounting necessary filesystems per boot options Started divice managment daemon v1.3.25 for /dev STEP 4: Determining root device STEP 4a: Mounting root mount : Mounting /dev/hda5 on /newroot failed: Invalid argument Could not mount specifited ROOT, try again Root block device uncpecifited or not detected. Please specify a device to boot, or "shell" for a shell. [/code] The same problem has comprehended(overtaken) me and with a gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1-r1. module-init-tools - are just installed, all the same produces the same error....
sounds like /dev/hda5 doesn't exist, or the filesystem your root is on was not compiled into the kernel, so check your kernel config. You may also wish to try genkernel 3.0.1_beta8 which has more sane default kernel configs for x86.
