Gentoo Kernel File-system Error


The kernel is x86_64 genkernel

Code:
fsck.ext3: no such file or directory while trying to open /dev/ROOT
I used ext4 for the root partition in /dev/sda3

fstab
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't 
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage 
# efficiency).  It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to 
# switch between notail / tail freely.
#
# The root filesystem should have a pass number of either 0 or 1.
# All other filesystems should have a pass number of 0 or greater than 1.
#
# See the manpage fstab(5) for more information.
#

# <fs>			<mountpoint>	<type>		<opts>		<dump/pass>

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/BOOT		/boot		ext2		defaults,noatime	1 2
/dev/ROOT		/		ext3		noatime			0 1
/dev/SWAP		none		swap		sw			0 0
/dev/cdrom		/mnt/cdrom	auto		noauto,ro		0 0
#/dev/fd0		/mnt/floppy	auto		noauto			0 0

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for 
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
#  use almost no memory if not populated with files)
shm			/dev/shm	tmpfs		nodev,nosuid,noexec	0 0

Hello,

I think that you forgot to tune your fstab file. Indeed instead of having:
Code:
/dev/ROOT		/		ext3		noatime			0 1
you should have something like:
Code:
/dev/sda3		/		ext4		noatime			0 1
And also do not forget to edit /dev/SWAP and /dev/BOOT lines.

Regards,

Oliv'
