I have the sameconfig and it works ok exept the name of /initrd I
have /initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.13-gentoo-r3. Maybe that is the problem?
I see hoew by saying root (hd0,0) leaves things relative to /boot. But
there is no linuxrc in /boot. I think this is the prob.
/linuxrc is in the initramfs thing so that's not the problem.
The error code is 15.
Thanks

Not really, you can use initramfs in place of initrd. I have in

Dear list, I have just started using Gentoo and up-to-now am
impressed. I have generated a kernel using 'genkernel' and the
kernel is in /boot. However, I do not have 'initrd' but
'initramfs'. is this a problem or should I modify grub
appropriately? Gavin. -- [email protected] mailing list
I noticed your files are in / not /boot where mine are. Should I
mv them?
They're in / only on the boot partition ie they are in the root of
(hd0,0).
If you are specifying your files as living in /boot on the boot
partition then this could stop your system booting fully.
Perhaps you could post your grub.conf?
Yours,
Craig

I wondered, should /boot be ext2? Or should I use some of the 'default'
entries?
Thanks.
I looked at the url mentioned it tells me my error(15) is grub not
finding my kernel. How do I tell grub to boot my kernel from the
command line? It tells me the kernel needs to be loaded first.
Gavin.
