Do you have ext2 built into the kernel? (File Systems -> Second Extended File System or something like that)? Make sure it is in the kernel and not a module. If it is not in the kernel, then your kernel will not recognize the ext2 file system. I have been burned on this a couple times with reiserfs file systems...

I have about the same, I also installed Gentoo, and when I reboot it, it says Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs 01:00 I don't think 01:00 is a timestamp, as someone said before, it doesn't match, and it never changes. I would also like to know what this means and what you can do about it.
