Errr... No.

A J R R Tolkien is far more interesting.


Meanwhile, as a background task/experiment, I'm chewing through some 
Gentoo...

... And tripping up on root=/dev/sda1 not being found. Grub is on 
/dev/hda1, and I've got USB and SCSI compiled into the kernel (and not 
as modules).

"VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)"


By the wonders of chroot, I've got it running another recompile from the 
live (minimal) install cd with a few more tweaks and will next try 
adding a rootwait to the kernel line.

At 533MHz on a "VIA C3 Samuel 2", the compile is going to take a little 
while...


(It can run Ubuntu but hideously slowly!)

All good fun!

Cheers,
Martin
