So it still uses the initramfs even though you didn't specify root=/dev/ram0? Richard said something about that (I wasn't aware of this behavior). Apparently you need to remove the initrd parameter in order to disable it. Genkernel builds busybox with the config file in /usr/share/genkernel/$arch/busy-config. Of course, it will only build busybox if it doesn't find a suitable binary in your bincache (specified in /etc/genkernel.conf). > > And why do I need to do a `busybox --install` ?? shouldn't this come up > in some emerge warning or be done by genkernel or something?

It seems that the genkernel devs may have overlooked this minor detail. It's easy to forget about it after you have a working busybox in your bincache. Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
