I tried appending that and it didn't work. I'm getting this error. VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) I set up grub like this # grub grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) grub> quit I did this because (sd0,0) wasn't found and (hd0,0) found my partitions. My grub.conf file looks like this default 0 timeout 10 splash..... title=Gentoo Linux (development-sources-2.6.6) root (hd0,0) kernel /development-sources-2.6.6 root=/dev/sda3 doscsi It still didtn't work with the doscsi at the end.
