Installation goes went fine once I found the above reference documentation. Except when I rebooted I got the following error: RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 Freeing initrd memory: 1458k freed VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filessystem). kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly. Trying to move old root to /initrd ... failed Unmounting old root Trying to free ramdisk memory ... okay Freeing unused kernel memory: 148k freed Warning: unable to open initial console. Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. I am using grub as the docs above showed how to get that installed properly (or so I thought). Below is my grub.conf file: default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=Gentoo XFS root (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.20-xfs-r3 root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.4.20-xfs-r3 root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 I added "root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p1" to the grub.conf after the initrd line thinking that might have fixed the issue as I had not added it before. But that didn't help any either. Any thoughts as to where the problem might lie? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
