Thanks for the repsonse Heschi. All that I was doing was following the Gentoo ~x86 install guide. Specifically in the configuration of the grub.conf portion. I will read up on initrd. So is it safe to assume that I can safely remove that line from grub.conf or is this message coming from how the kernel was compiled by default with "Genkernel"?? Kernel setup has: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y Grub.conf has this line in it: (per the Install documentation) initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r7 Thanks, JBanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
