Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you were talking about GRUB Legacy (this list is mostly about the development of GRUB 2). I think you are missing some "initrd" (GRUB2) or "module" (GRUB1?) line after the "linux" (GRUB2) or "kernel" (GRUB1) line - and the genkernel line should not be in the GRUB config files at all. The exact boot parameters and configuration should be in the Gentoo documentation: if I remember my Gentoo times correctly, the Handbook should have all the info you need. If you mail me a link to the post related to this issue in the Gentoo forums, I can answer you better than in this list. >> genkernel --install --bootloader=grub --menuconfig --disklabel all > > Furthermore I have to build genkernel with the "--disklabel" option to make > it work right? > >> genkernel --install --bootloader=grub --menuconfig --disklabel all > > > Thanks, > > Aniruddha > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Grub-devel mailing list > Grub-devel@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel >
