Hi people,
I have installed the latest gentoo linux distribution and I don't know
what I am missing in my installation, specially the last gentoo
installation worked for me fine.

At booting I recive the error message:

"Block device /dev/sda5 is not a valid root device."

Hard disk is a SATA one, with a Core2Duo machine.


What am I doing wrong?

for any help solving my problem, I would thank you kindly.

Did you compile in the kernel the drivers for your chipset?  Not as

[gentoo-user] can't boot, "block device is not a valid root device"

2008-09-06 Thread Tamer Higazi 

Hi people,
I have installed the latest gentoo linux distribution and I don't know
what I am missing in my installation, specially the last gentoo
installation worked for me fine.

At booting I recive the error message:

"Block device /dev/sda5 is not a valid root device."

Hard disk is a SATA one, with a Core2Duo machine.


What am I doing wrong?

for any help solving my problem, I would thank you kindly.
