Hi group,
My hand-made kernel was giving me grief(see bug
#132141) so I did
#emerge genkernel, #zcat /proc/config.gz >
/usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6, #genkernel
all, and rebooted.
Here's the grub session(not using grub-conf):
grub> root
(hd0,1): ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.16-gentoo-r3
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1c00, size=0x101fb0]
grub> boot
...
VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown block
(8,7)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic-not syncing...unknown block (8,7)
It doesn't matter if I specify the root partition in
the 'kernel' line or not. The original kernel *will*
boot using the same grub commands, just won't load any
modules, among other things.
Have you read the info after you use "genkernel all"? You need a lot
more options when using this kind of kernel, take a look at:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/genkernel.xml
Specially the "Bootloader Configuration" section. Genkernel generated
kernels are NOT like hand-made, they need special options in order to
use initrd and ramdisk to load stuff, among other options, like root
and real root, etc.
