All references to real_root should be removed. They should say root= instead. The stable genkernel initramfs script takes root for everything that real_root does if real_root is unset. Stable genkernel no longer references real_root in its messages as well. As bug 479296 says: >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. Reproducible: Always
I did a search on the wiki for all references to "real_root" and replaced any references that were in the official Handbooks.
