Hello, I just did an install of Gentoo with Grub and everything went great until it started booting (after grub came up). When it boots it says

Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
_

Anyone know what I should do?

Thanks,
Jason

When you compiled the kernel, did you build the filesystem support into the kernel or as a module? If a module, then you will need to create a initrd (initial ramdisk).

Search the JL forums for 'kernel panic 00:00' as I've seen a few of those posted here recently. They may give you clues on what else the problem could be.
