Is this some sort of LVM thing creeping in? I don't use it but I see signs of it starting to show up on my systems like something is making it come in with new profiles or something. I don't know how LVM works but I assume that rootfs and /dev/root have something to do with your main file system? I rebuilt new hardware for my dad yesterday using the default sda1/2/3 setup from the Gentoo AMD64 Install Guide and I see the following: gandalf ~ # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 103212320 5041116 92928324 6% / udev 10240 164 10076 2% /dev shm 1925772 0 1925772 0% /dev/shm gandalf ~ # cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 8 0 976762584 sda 8 1 102343 sda1 8 2 8388608 sda2 8 3 104857600 sda3 gandalf ~ # Did you intend to have 3 100MB partitions at the start of your drive and then everything else inside of an extended partition?
