This is my grub.conf entry: > title Gentoo new kernel > kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage-2.6.20-r8-3 root=/dev/hda6 ide0=ata66 > ide1=ata66 vga=788 Note the missing /boot before the kernel? If you have /boot on a separate partition, you need to remove the /boot and make it read something like kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.20-gentoo-r8 ro root=/dev/sda2 Keep in mind, the root partition is not mounted when it loads the kernel. That is mounted later. I hope that helps. Dale :-) :-) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
