Hi all. I've never had this much trouble with a server before, but I've been pulling my hair out.
The install seemed to go well, but when I rebooted it from it's own hard drive, it fails. fsck claims that it can't open /dev/sda3 or that the superblock doesn't describe a valid ext2 filesystem. However, when I reboot from the live CD, it mounts just fine and fsck says it's clean. Here is the /etc/fstab: /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2 /dev/sda3 / ext2 noatime 0 1 /dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0 shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 Here is the /boot/grub/grub.conf file: default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Gentoo Linux root (hd0,0) kernel /bzImage root=/dev/sda3 I've verified that ext2 and ext3 are in the kernel statically. I've also compiled in ALL of the SATA drivers, statically. What am I missing? -- Take care and have fun, Mike Diehl.
