What I meant to say is that my / is /dev/hda2 and /boot is /dev/hda3 [which should be consistent with what I said]. The problem that I have, can be more concisely put this way. Grub won't honour real_root=/dev/hda2 from my conf file and after mounting /boot kernel does it's business and waits for real_root. Grub/ kernel ? fail here and say that they can not detect /dev/hda2 and ask me for the root device. I type /dev/hda2 by hand, every time I boot, and it happily continues booting the rest of the box from there. Thanks, Rohoit -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
