if you have a rdb partition scheme you must compile the ability to read it into the kernel.

okay I've compiled my kernel and it seems to work. I'm booting with boot hd:0 /boot/kernel-2.6.13 root=/dev/hda1 I get the following back. VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or unknown-block(3,1) please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,1) Any help would be greatly appreciated --Geekboy aka Mithalas |

Are you sure your root partition is /dev/hda1 and not /dev/hda3? Hda1 is usually /boot unless you are not using a separate boot partition. |

I'm positive. Here is my partition layout / is on hda1 /usr is on hdb1 hda 1 = ext3 2 = swap hdb 1 = ext3 |

Are you sure you have ext3 built into your kernel and it is not a module? What does your fstab look like? |

ext3 is built in my only module is the floppy drive. I'll validate my fstab tonight. |

I'm glad you figured it out. Does your root partition actuall mount? Noauto in your fstab should tell / not to mount--unless the fact that it is your root partition overrides noauto. I'm just curious. |

Yeah since it is the root partition that get overridden. I had a problem with my /usr because of that and didn't realize. The wonderful people in irc helped find my issues and showed me the erros of my ways. Geekboy |
