you only need an initrd if you have some special hardware. Do you? I.E. sata controler (intel ICH6), SCSI, or some special things with your root filesystem like lvm, md...
saved the output of the genkernel script. I mv'd the files from /etc/kernel to /tmp, but I still saw this line in the genkernel output: * Linux Kernel 2.6.13-gentoo-r3 for x86... * kernel: >> Running mrproper... * config: Using config from /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6 * Previous config backed up to .config.bak * >> Running oldconfig... Should this be happening?
thats fine. this lines told you, that a generic kernel-config (like on livecd) is used.
The first thing is to make your kernel booting. This is not a hard thing, if you have no special setup. The siplest case is that your root=/dev/hdxx in grub.conf is wrong. Type "mount" and see what device is mounted for "/boot". If you have none for "/boot" look for "/". Then use this device in the root= parameter.
