It didn't go. I did everything you said, but when I booted with the new kernel it gave me a kernel panic. It said something about not being able to find the root fs. Should there be an initrd line? Also, I 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? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
