That is what I did last. I just emerged the thing and it put the file there. You know I don't reboot often here but this is what it says when I update grub: root@fireball / # /root/grub-update Generating grub.cfg ... Found linux image: /boot/kernel-3.8.7-1 Found linux image: /boot/kernel-3.6.6-1 Found linux image: /boot/kernel-3.5.3-3 done root@fireball / # Shouldn't there be a line for the memtest entry or does it not show that? Maybe it is working and I don't know it yet. lol Oh, I have a script that has the longer command in it with all the nifty options. That's why the command is different. root@fireball / # cat /root/grub-update grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg root@fireball / # Thanks for the help.
