the usual kernel panic troubles - SOLVED
Code:usb 4-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 UDF-fs: No partition found(1) Kernel panic - Not syncing:VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block(3,3)
the only part of the manual i didn't follow is the networking section (since i ain't setting up a network and only have access to the internet from a USB modem) i also didn't change the symlink to kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r3 but i can't see this making much difference.
EDIT: I (sortof) solved this problem when i got my new ethernet modem and was able to start from stage 1Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

can you post your grub.conf file as well as say which partitions (/dev/hd**) the /boot and / partitions are on.

well, the SuSE GRUB (which i'm using) calls it menu.lst but here it is:
Code:title =Gentoo Linux 2005.1 root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda3
the /boot and / for gentoo are on /dev/hda3Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:

hmm, try this as the gentoo stanza for the menu.lst:
title GENTOO
kernel (hd0,2)/kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda3

ok, that didn't work. it gave me a file not found error, which means the problem isn't GRUB, but it is the gentoo kernel.

Can you post the whole of your gentoo fstab file then please.

ok, i entered it as it was in the manual but when i did a SuSE repair (for other reasons) it decided that it was wrong, and this is the outcome:
Code:shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 /dev/hda3 / reiserfs noatime 1 1 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom subfs noauto, (blah) 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=620,gid=5 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,user 0 0

Hmm, the only thing I can suggest is to try to get it to boot with:
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs noatime 1 1
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom subfs noauto, (blah) 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=620,gid=5 0 0
#usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,user 0 0

Try this: Get the Grub command prompt by pressing 'c' when you get the boot menu. At the Grub prompt, do 'root (hd0,0)' and then do 'kernel / <tab>'. Grub should return a list of files found in (hd0,0) and you should see in that list your kernel 'kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6'. If it isn't listed, we need to look elsewhere.

dylunio, could the reiserfs be causing a problem? How does Grub know to use the stage1.5-reiserfs and not another one?
