/boot/grub? The config should be /boot/grub/menu.lst Change it to this: ---- default 0 timeout 5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
Title=gentoo
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linux
ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda5 video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,[EMAIL PROTECTED]
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-gentoo-r1
----
Also, it looks like you're using Genkernel from that kernel line, but
you say you've configured the kernel yourself.
If you have done it yourself, use this menu.lst instead:
----
default 0
timeout 5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
Title=gentoo
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/hda5
video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,[EMAIL PROTECTED]
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-gentoo-r1
----
