Ok, Ive installed Gentoo a few times before but this is my first install on a laptop and my first install using jfs. My laptop is an IBM Thinkpad R51 - but in this case I think that's all irrelevant. Here's what you're going to want:
On boot I receive this:
UDF-fs: No VRS found
VFS: Mounted root (jfs filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 236k freed
Warning: Unable to open an initial console.
Kenrel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passsing init= option to kernel.
My partition layout is this:
/dev/hda1 Boot HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 Compaq Diagnostics
/dev/hda3 Q95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda4 Linux (boot)
/dev/hda5 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda6 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda7 Linux (swap)
/dev/hda8 Linux (home)
/dev/hda9 Linux (root)
The relevant lines in grub.conf are:
# Boot Gentoo
title Gentoo Kernel 2.6.11-r8
root (hd0,3)
kernel /kernel-2.6.11-r8 root=/dev/hda9 -ro

My problem is I can't manage to chroot into my current install. I know how to chroot into it the first time.
Any suggestions would be great - whether those suggestions are for the core problem or how to chroot into the install. If it's the latter then I can provide my fstab file, recompile the kernel or anything else that is needed.
Thanks for your time.
