Installing gentoo as guest into vbox vm on solaris-11 (openindiana) HOST gentoo-17 VBox 5.2.6 Kernel 4.15.0
My first boot resulted in resulted in a kernel panic... not able to mount root. I checked my /etc/fstab trying to make sure I didn't make a stupid mistake there... it appear to be sound. (Included at the end of post) I suspect it may be the result of a kernel choice... or rather the lack of one. Something that would have been able to mount / I thought it would be ata_piix and made sure that was selected in kernel .config I'm thinking it may be be ata_generic, which I did not have selected. Which I have now enabled. But I see now, that is for IDE. In a chroot now I can see lspci -k shows ata_piix in use .. but that would probably be because in vbox I have the gentoo install media on IDE secondary master. But also shows sata controller ahci Which I do also have selected in .config. However there a number of AHCI choices in the kernel config that were not selected. Can anyone tell me what they used to allow gentoo in vbox to boot?
