Well, when I do it, I do it right. Through a bad combination of typos and missing an <enter> I deleted everything in /boot. :-(
This is what I did to (try to) recover: # cd /boot # mklost+found # emerge grub [...edited grub.conf...] [...recompiled kernel & modules and installed...] I *thought* that's all I'd need, but upon boot up: Warning:unable to open an initial console Kernel panic- not syncing: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel I compiled the kernel myself, not with genkernel. I'm stumped at the moment & would be glad to try any ideas anyone might have. Many thanks!
