No, I never use genkernel and I use modules only for things I need once
a year (loop, ramdisk, ... ) or things which can't be built into the
kernel.
Just now I tried the vanilla kernel. Let's see what the reboot brings
up.

Since the kernel is being found it is not a grub setup problem.

Just a bit more info, I've rebooted into the new system. Here's thewhole message:...VFS: Cannot open root device hda3 or unknown-block(0,0)Please append a correct root= boot option

Is fstab relevant at this point? As surely /etc/fstab cannot be read
until after the root ('/') filesystem is mounted, and this is what is
failing.

Did you try to boot without the root= option?

Well, I didn't see any reason to try this. The kernel should know where
the root filesystem lives.
I've tried it just now:
The panic is the same. The only difference is that the unknown device is
(hd3,3).
I've even tried to set root=(hd0,2) (I know, this is NOT what ``info
grub'' says) :o(

Try to install boot loader on the first HD.
Or read grub FAQ. IIRC there was something
about using grub with the second HD.

I have installed Gentoo to a dual had drive system

/dev/sda -- Gentoo Install
/dev/sda1 - /boot
/dev/sda3 - /

Looks like you need you initrd added to grub.

It seems you used genkernel.
