<0> why haven't you pasted anything yet
<0> i'm about to leave
<1> cause im booting off the livecd again, its a whopping fast PIII with an 8X CD-ROM
<1> :/
<1> PII being a 450 :/
<2> goingmad pasted "fstab/grub", view at http://genpaste.pengu.in/pastes/show/276
<1> http://genpaste.pengu.in/pastes/show/276
<1> i set /dev/hda3 to auto just incase but its supposed to be ext3
<1> in fstab that is
<3> all seems well
<1> thats what I thought
<3> the problem you're having is grub not able to find the partition.
<1> looks that way
<1> but not sure why
<3> what type of disks do you have?
<3> just some plain ol ide?
<1> yuppers
<1> any ideas
<3> what you can try doing is going into grub and editing your setup
<3> and typing root (hd0,<TAB>
<1> done that
<3> to see what it brings up. or even root (hd<TAB>
<1> and tried everywhich way that makes sense
<3> it can find the partitions just find?
<4> think 4gb is enough space for a development/x windows install
<1> unless i tell it something wildly stupid i always get the same error
<1> when i tab it knows about all 3
<1> 0 -> 2
<1> so hd0,0 hd0,1 and hd0,2
<3> hrm
<3> it's probably something stupid
<1> I AM stupid
<1> bit now
<1> I'm going mad as well
<1> so I'll be mad and stupid
<3> i can't really remember any troubleshooting procedurs...it's been so long since ive had problems getting a system up
<3> hmm
<3> hah
<1> i havent installed gentoo for like 2 years
<1> and now need it on a new box at work
<1> soits doing my head in
<3> if no one else here speaks up you might wanna check the freenode gentoo chan...
<3> cause all looks well to me
<5> w-hat
<3> hmm, does the problem with root= happen after the kernel is loading?
<1> i dont actually think the kernle loads per se
<1> so yes
<3> so it's happening immediatly after selecting the grub option and not after a few lines have scrolled?
<4> yeah getting the kernel config right is the most challenging part of the install
<1> no it does the hardware checks after grub
<1> and the hits that bit
<1> and errors
<3> aight, it's gotta be a kernel issue
<4> are you using a SATA hard drive?
<1> nope
<1> this box hadnt heard of it when it was bron
<3> you may not have your chipset configured correctly...or whatever it is
<1> chipset configed for?
<4> are you getting a kernel panic or anything like that?
<1> it IS a kernel panic :)
<3> .:09:51:02:. < morpheus_> but when i boot i get:
<3> .:09:51:26:. < morpheus_> cannot open root device "hda3" or unknown block (0,0)
<3> .:09:51:46:. < morpheus_> please append a correct "root=" boot option
<1> sorry should have said so to start with
<4> what was it trying to do before the panic
<4> yeah
<1> um...
<1> i cant actually tell u now without rebooting it and seeing
<3> could you paste the output of cat /proc/pci and the kernel config?
<4> are you confident that root should be /dev/hda3
<3> according to his fstab that's what it should be
<4> when I had that error it was because I didn't have SATA compiled in my kernel
<3> the kernel isnt finding the partition
<1> nux when u say /proc/pci, im booted off the live cd and there is no /proc/pci or /mnt/gentoo/proc/pci
<3> try typing lspci
<1> vdog its not sata
<4> understood, but it sounds like the same issue
<4> driver for you hard drive is not in your kernel
<3> like, in my lspci i have a line:
<3> 00:0f.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 06)
<2> goingmad pasted "lspci", view at http://genpaste.pengu.in/pastes/show/277
<3> if i didn't configure the chipset VT82somethingsomething i would run into the same issue
<1> vdog hmmm
<4> remember if you comiple it as a module and the module is on the harddrive that is not going to fly
<3> grep for PIIX in /usr/src/linux/.config
<1> i dont compile stuff as modules unless im sure that they aint required till after boot
<6> piss.
<3> if i'm not mistaken you'll need CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX=y in your config
<1> casue i learnt that, the hard way years ago
<4> hehe, me too ;-)
<4> that is the only way I really learn things really -- the hard way
<3> same here
<1> # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX is not set
<1> # CONFIG_I2C_PIIX4 is not set
<3> there's your problem
<1> nux can edit that manually then recompile?
<3> yes
<1> or do i ahve to make menuconfig?
<3> you may want to go through menuconfig so you can find it next time
<3> its under ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support
<3> in device drivers
<1> k building it now
<3> i can almost guarentee that'll fix your problem
<1> :)
<5> hp notebooks are all AMD now?
<5> turion ****s >:(
<3> hi ShALLaX
<7> hp are shipping both
<5> hm maybe I'm not looking in the right part of their online store
<1> nux excuse my stupidity but what is it im looking for
<1> in ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL ?
<3> goto device drivers and then that
<1> yeah in there
<3> you'll find a big long list of device drivers
<1> uh huh
<3> look for Intel PIIX chipset
<1> ah
<1> k
<1> F***in' muppet that I am
<3> lol
<3> could be worse....
<3> you could be doing a remote install
<1> :)
<1> indeed
<1> i did something terribly silly years ago
<3> hehe. i wont force you to ;)
<1> heh
<1> if i can ill tel
<1> honets :)
<1> honest even
<3> i've had stupidly easy problems on a remote install before...real big PITA
<1> :)
<1> i honestly cant remember
<1> just remember spedning hours
<1> then in the end thinking
<1> imbecile
<1> muppetry at its finest
<3> heh
<1> hey
<1> at least this is the first kernel recompile ;)
<1> um
<1> 2nd actually tbh
<4> anyone ever play with irda devices under gentoo?
<1> nope
<8> ya i have
<1> nux i remember nearly pulling my hair out a year and half ago getting wireless to work with a cisco pcmcia card
<1> on a lappy
<1> gave up in the end
<9> i'd like finer logging control for my system. i'd like to log permission denied's for example. Where do I start?
