Thanks for your suggestion! I have actually tried adding 'rw' before, but I forgot to mention it earlier... It still didn't work, but with a different error message: "UDF-fs: No partition found (1) List of all partitions: 0800 78125000 sda driver: sd 0801 1365121 sda1 0802 1 sda2 0803 .... sda3 0804 .... sda4 0805 .... sda5 0806 .... sda6 0807 .... sda7 No filesystem could mount root, tried: reiserfs ext3 ext2 ext4 vfat msdos iso9660 hfsplus hfs ufs udf Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,5) Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.31-gentoo-r10 #4 Call Trace: panic+0x4d/0x112 mount_block_root+0x19c/0x1c9 mount_root+0xb6/0xf1 prepare_namespace+0xef/0x169 sys_access+0x1f/0x23 kernel_init+0x16a/0x184 kernel_init+0x0/0x184 kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x18" Thanks!
