Everything look normal so far?

Yep.

VFS: Cannot open root device "hda3" or unknown-block(0,0)

This is not a problem with your grub configuration.  The
"unknown-block(0,0)" tells me that the kernel cannot find a device for
hda3.  You probably missed either the device driver needed for your
IDE chipset, or IDE hard drive support in your kernel configuration.

If you need help figuring out what you need here, post the outputs of:

grep -v -e "^#" -e "^$" /usr/src/linux/.config
lspci -v

Hi Richard,

I think you are correct. I just scanned through the output of those two commands and I believe I may have missed the IDE chipset. I'm going to try enabling it and see if that helps.

As for the other two responses, I did compile ReiserFS directly into the kernel, and also tried changing the kernel line in grub.conf to read kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/hda3 with little success.

Hopefully this will work though.

Thanks again!
