This is more a question for Darrick than follow up help for Erick I think ...
I am not 100% clear on the reference to (boot 2,0) in grub.conf ... Is this correct ??? If so, then I am doing it wrong on my setup and am wondering how it is that mine is working ... I reference (boot 0,0) but am indeed booting off hdc1 and pointing kd at hda1 ... I seem to recall that I tried (boot 2,0) and it did not work, but when I set it to (boot 0,0) everything was happy ... In my scenario, I use a 256mb CF card connected as /dev/hdc for boot and a 1gb DOM connected as /dev/hda for kd ... Not exactly what he is doing but similar as far as configuration ... My take on it is he just has a bigger IDE device for kd but the settings should probably be pretty much the same ... I do not really understand the details of what this (boot 0,0) setting in grub.conf is doing, I just know what seems to work for me ... I agree that the last issue may be the use of command structure "genkd /dev/hda1" instead of "genkd /dev/hda" ... I suspect this is the item he needs to try ... I am not sure that the (boot 0,0) or (boot 2,0) in grub.conf is really a contributor to what he is seeing ...

Also, you _may_ have to manually create the partition, reboot, then run genkd (shouldn't have to, but some hardware can be funny with re-reading partition tables). genkd is a script. If you look at it, it will grep the command line to see if astkd is defined. If it is, executing genkd with no options will generate the key disk on that partition. Note that genkd is designed to work with a partition, not a disk. If you are getting a segfault, it's because the script tried to do something that's not allowed. (like mounting a drive instead of a partition). There could be some additional error checking implemented, but it's usually not an issue.
