I'm pretty sure I did have the root command set to (hd0,0) to get this far. One difference between the Redhat docs I'm looking at and the Gentoo install page is that Gentoo recommends kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3 while Redhat would do: kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hda3 They don't show that the file is in /boot and they don't reference the hard drive and partition. I think part of this is because RH uses an initrd file? Maybe I am also under Gentoo now? I used genkernel the for first time last night, and I see that the Gentoo install instructions talk about this getting created. (See Code Listing 16.3) I'll go do some poking around later. this thing must be bootable, as you say, since I get to grub. Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
