Gentoo Help
Hey, ive just installed gentoo linux with the 2.6 kernel.
When i boot i keep getting this error message, and to continue i have to enter the root parition "/dev/hda3". is there anyway around this?
The error message is:
!! The root block device is unspecified or not detected
Please sepcify a device to boot, or "shell" for a shell....
boot() ::
Also im wanting to write some iptables.
But i keep getting this error:
FATAL: Module ip_tables not found
iptables v1.3.4: cant initilize iptables table 'filter': iptables who? (do you need insmod? )
Perhaps iptables or your kernen needs to be upgraded.
Any help would be great.

Not sure, but you might need to make sure your GRUB or Lilo boot loader configuration is properly set up.
See this link.
FATAL: Module ip_tables not found
iptables v1.3.4: cant initilize iptables table 'filter': iptables who? (do you need insmod? )
Perhaps iptables or your kernen needs to be upgraded.
When you compiled your kernel did you select iptables support? I think you can compile iptables support into the kernel or you can elect to compile it as a module and have it loaded into the kernel. Did you do either of these?
Just to be sure, do this command:
$whereis iptables
if the output doesn't say something like:
iptables: /sbin/iptables /lib/iptables /usr/share/man/man8/iptables.8.gz
then iptables isn't installed on your system.

Can you post your grub config? It will be easier to help you.
