I just got a new netbook. It comes w/ win7 starter, and I wanted to dual boot with linux. So I used windows to shrink the partition by 40 Gb and installed grub and a kernel in there as well as the starting of a gentoo install. But when I boot that kernel, it dies saying it could not mount the root file system. I'm at a loss to figure it out. The partition is /dev/sda4 with grub installed on (hd0). The partition is formatted as XFS and I have XFS support compiled into the kernel (not module, built in). I'm not using an init ram disk.
The kernel seems to see the disk as it shows four partitions when it dies. I have no idea whats up. Any help is appreciated. FYI the kernel's command line is: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.6 root=/dev/sda4 ro Thanks!! /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
