Hi group,

My hand-made kernel was giving me grief(see bug
#132141) so I did 
#emerge genkernel, #zcat /proc/config.gz >
/usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6, #genkernel
all, and rebooted.

Here's the grub session(not using grub-conf):

grub> root
   (hd0,1): ext2fs, partition type 0x83

grub> kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.16-gentoo-r3
   [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1c00, size=0x101fb0]

grub> boot
...
VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown block
(8,7)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic-not syncing...unknown block (8,7)

It doesn't matter if I specify the root partition in
the 'kernel' line or not. The original kernel *will*
boot using the same grub commands, just won't load any
modules, among other things.

-Maxim
