I run knoppix 3.3, do nothing, logout, reboot
I load my usual gentoo-2.6.7-r11 kernel and get
-----
Mounting /dev/hda3 on /newroot failed: invalid argument
>> Could not mount specified ROOT, try again
>> The root block device is unspecified or not detected
----
So I reboot and retry my 2.6.7 kernel... same problem... again and again
So I reboot to my older gentoo-2.4.20 kernel and it loads fine, and
So I reboot and retry 2.6.7 kernel and now it works... and now I'm puzzled
Proceeding a startx and my nvidia driver only works for an awfully poor resolution. Reinstalling the driver does nothing.
I reinstall the kernel, the video drivers, and now all is fine.
In addition I can replicate this... obviously it's a painful thing to replicate but I can replicate it. Any ideas as to what is going on?
