doesnt boot up after upgraded Fedora


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
I installed Fedora 11 on sda5, I have Gentoo on sda2, and sda1 is the collective boot folder.
after installed fedora 11, i cannot boot up gentoo, the erros show:

Quote:
Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0)

then, i formatted boot folder sda1, and re-emerged grub....
but unfortunately i still cannot make the gentoo boot-up, but it can go through, from command line without errors

boot
kernel /bzImage-2.9.2xxxxx
boot

i have these files which are located @ grub folder

device.map grub.conf minix_stage1_5 stage2
e2fs_stage1_5 iso9660_stage1_5 reiserfs_stage1_5 ufs2_stage1_5
fat_stage1_5 jfs_stage1_5 splash.xpm.gz vstafs_stage1_5
ffs_stage1_5 menu.lst stage1 xfs_stage1_5

menu.lst / grub.conf are the same.

splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title Gentoo (2.6.29.4)

your Gentoo's Grub entry saying No initrd. Please Check that..And also
let me know which grub is installed(from fedora dvd/gentoo cd) which os.

yes, i dont have initrd.
and grub re-installd from gentoo portage .

my grub.config file worked without problems before upgraded fedora, and gentoo & fedora worked good before upgrading fedora

that is very weird, now i need to boot gentoo from grub commandline...

thanks a lot.
