Or he used genkernel but has not given grub the appropriate options for initrd and ramfs. here is a sample from the install manual: title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.12-r10 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r10 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3 udev initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r10 (because of email wrapping I have put a space between separate lines, the section starting "kernel" and ending "udev" is all one line.) http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1 -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
