I followed the German Documentation to install Gentoo and found a little bug. In the Section 10 Configuring the Bootloader i found this: title Gentoo Linux 2.6.24-r5 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.24-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda3 udev initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.24-gentoo-r5 Ok, my partitions are a litte different, but Grub wont find any kernel or initrd. I fixed it to: title Gentoo Linux 2.6.25-r7 root (hd0,2) kernel (hd0,1)/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.25-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda3 udev initrd (hd0,1)/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.25-gentoo-r7 In the Grub shell i can use my tabkey to search for the right kernel, so he find the files but wont boot. Maybe the /boot/ in the documentation should change to the (hdx,x) notation, its easyer for the unexperienced users. Reproducible: Always
If you're using different partitions than those used in the documentation, you're expected to edit the grub.conf file so that it matches your setup.
