You might have accidently disabled support for your filesystem in the
kernel.   Make sure it's enabled, and try again :).

machine. I downloaded the minimal CD and followed the instruction in the quick \
installation. Now, I have a problem either in the grub configuration or in kernel and \
I need help to figure this one out.<br>

<br>
I have existing partitions for windows and my previous Fedora (/home directory), \
therefore I installed gentoo on /dev/hda3. The problem is I get a kernel panic when I \
try to boot. In grub I am using (hd0,2) as my root, because I don&#39;t want to write \
anything to the mbr. After editing grub.conf, I run a grub shell, and execute the \
commands root(hd0,2) then setup(hd0,2). Then tried to reboot.<br>

<br>
Here the relevant part of grub.conf:<br>
============================<br>
title Linux<br>
root (hd0,2)<br>
kernel (hd0,2)/boot/kernel root=/dev/hda3<br>
=================================<br>
<br>
I don&#39;t have a separate partition for boot, it&#39;s on the root &quot;/&quot; \
filesystem.<br> <br>
Can anyone tell what&#39;s going on ? If there&#39;s missing info please let me know, \
as everyone has different way when troubleshooting a problem.<br><font \
