Root is /dev/sda3
Grub set real_root=/dev/sda3
So when I changed grub options to old kernel, system booted.
But new kernel is not booted.
New kernel Could not find the root block device in.

Hello list.
For installing vmware
My kernel version is 2.6.24-gentoo-r5. But I have no source files.
So I downloaded source files. But that¡¯s version 2.6.27-gentoo-r8.
When I installed vmware, it told me kernel version and kernel source
files¡¯ version no match.
I have to kernel upgrade.
I entered ¡°genkernel all¡±
And vi /boot/grub/grub.conf

T_T help me.

You keep your kernel and initrd on the root partition; not even in /
boot
or a separate partition?
I saw that, I just found it very odd that you don't keep the initramrd
and kernel image in /boot. Therefore, I was wondering if your issue
was having not properly configured genkernel. I've never seen anyone
run a system without /boot, so, is there a chance that's where the
missing kernel image and initrd are?
