Hi all
I've been trying to install Gentoo. I want to see if Gentoo is for me so
I've kept it simple. My first attempt I tried a stage1 install, as this
failed the second time I tried a stage3 install, if it failed less time
wasted. Both times I opted for a genkernel install, everything seemed
OK, no error messages and all stages completed. However both times when
I get to 7.d ls /boot/kernel* /boot/initrd* I get the same result both
times:
/boot/initrd*:no such file or directory
/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-genkernel-r6
Taking the entry in the grub configure example as a guide I've searched
for any initrd files just in case it's somewhere else the only entries
are a couple of .gz files in /usr/man/man4 nothing else.
I could use some help to sort this out as I have no idea what to do.
TIA

With recent versions of genkernel you should do "ls /boot/kernel*
/boot/initramfs*" instead. Note that the initramfs or initrd is not required if
your kernel has sufficient drivers built in.
