genkernel report this: * Adding kernel to /boot/grub/grub.conf floppy0: no floppy controllers found I've installed grub with grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda and /boot/grub/device.map contains (hd0) /dev/sda http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2882253.html#2882253 I've added this (line 31 /usr/bin/genkernel v3.3.6) cp /boot/grub/device.map ${TEMP}/grub.map This is a bad hack ;) probably we want something that check if the file exists and so on... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
I have multiple machines without any floppy and no such issues. Also, if you're going to post a forums link, make sure it actually has more information. It really is a waste of time for those of us that do most bug hunting via email to have to load up a browser, or use a machine with a browser, to load up the forums, to find it has the exact same information in it. A simpler method is to just post all of the information into the bug, as is requested and required. At any rate, to answer your assumption in your forum post, genkernel does not modify grub.conf *by default* bu there is a command line option for it. Therefore, this would be completely INVALID anyway.
