Do you have ANY kernel that does boot on this system? If so, or even if not, post a copy of your entire grub.conf, and your /etc/fstab file, so we can see how your system partitions are set up. Is there an error message, like error 17, or some other number? I think your (hd0,2) and root=dev/hd2 are probably wrong. If you installed Gentoo following the Docs, your /boot should be hda1, swap hda2, and / hda3. Your grub should be installed on the MBR, and grub.conf should look something like this, set up with no splash framebuffer: title=[Evo-2.6.16-beyond1] root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/2.6.16-beyond1 root=/dev/hda3 With a splash framebuffer, something like this: title=Gentoo [Evolution-Mission] root (hd0,0) # boot partition kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-archck root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb:[EMAIL PROTECTED],mtrr,ywrap splash=silent,fadein,theme:default quiet console=tty1 initrd (hd0,0)/fbsplash-default Robert Crawford. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
