when using genkernel to generate kernel with initrd, mnay times initrd is more than 4096 KB and default config for initial ramdisk is 4096. During boot when initrd is extracted on ramdisk some part of it will be off the ramdisk will print errors attempt to access beyond end of device 01:00: rw=0, want=4102, limit=4096 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. generate a new kernel with default settings with initrd 2. boot with newly generated kernel Actual Results: attempt to access beyond end of device 01:00: rw=0, want=4102, limit=4096 Expected Results: Should boot genkernel detects size of initrd. on completion it prints option for grub. If initrd <= 4096 ok if initrd >4096 and <= 8192 it should display additional param ramdisk_size=8192 for grub settings.
Fixed in Genkernel 3.0.2a. Thanks!
