I'm not sure of this problem, since lots of stuff may cause this complain message.
make sure the kernel and root partition are correct in your grub.conf. try it.
good luck.

Well, when I do it, I do it right. Through a bad combination of typos
and missing an <enter> I deleted everything in /boot. :-(
This is what I did to (try to) recover:
# cd /boot
# mklost+found
# emerge grub
[...edited grub.conf...]
[...recompiled kernel & modules and installed...]

I *thought* that's all I'd need, but upon boot up:
Warning:unable to open an initial console
Kernel panic- not syncing: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel
I compiled the kernel myself, not with genkernel. I'm stumped at the
moment & would be glad to try any ideas anyone might have.
