| Hi all, I've been doing a gentoo install on vmware workstation 4.5 from a livecd and following the handbook from gentoo.org but on a reboot I am getting the following error: VFS: cannot open root device "801" or 08:01 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:01 I am using kernel 2.4.28-r5 The drive comes up as a SCSI device /dev/sda. lilo contains the following entries: root=/dev/sda image=/boot/kernel-2.4.28-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/sda3 label=Gentoo read-only I tried messing about with the root= setting between the different partitions (boot is on sda1, root is on sda3) but no luck. Any ideas? -- Stuart |
