Created attachment 354738 [details, diff] patch for grub.conf.gentoo Ever since we moved to kernel 2.6 and initramfs (versus initrd), the real_root parameter has been unneeded, just *tolerated* by genkernel initramfs. Initramfs scripts (like genkernel's) can read directly from the root= parameter, real_root was only needed since initrd required root=/dev/ram0, as it was a real ramdisk. Reworking our example config will simplify things for users, the single example will be valid for manual (initramfs-less) builds AND genkernel builds.
sounds good to me, committing in-place. I don't see much need for a revbump just for this, users that already have grub installed likely already know how to configure it. (that said, I am revbumping it anyways for multilib soon)
