So when you manually edit the kernel line in GRUB CLI you end up with a line like kernel bzimage root=/dev/hda3 ? If so, then it sounds like you are missing the symlink in /boot for boot. (cd /boot && ln -s . boot) You can try removing the /boot from your kernel line instead of fixing the symlink, since hd0,0 is /boot, there is no real need to preface the kernel line with /boot. The synlink is just used for compatibility (and in fact, I remove it during install as I don't care for circular symlinks). The other issue is your kernel may not be "kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r7" but some variation, and the symlink for bzimage is pointing to the correct spelling of the kernel name. As for the reiserfs, I wasn't truley aware of the boot issues, but now I do recall reading that. I do add notail to all my reiserfs mount points, so it's not an issue for me. I would think it's not the root cause of your problem, as you are able to boot the system. I believe if it was truly a reiserfs issue, you could not get the system to boot from /boot. -- [email protected] mailing list
