I tried to compile gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r1 with genkernel and can't boot it. It just throws errors about invalid commands like when loading modules and starting udev and so on: /init: 1: ls no such command Is there any way I can capture them? It finaly failed with a message that invalid device was specified. And when I put /dev/hda2 I get the same error. I boot with the following: title=Gentoo Linux (2.6.12-gentoo-r1) root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.12-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x317 splash=silent,fadein,theme:gentoo quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.12-gentoo-r1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot linux 2.see gensplash 3.see errors Actual Results: A bunch of error messages like: /init: 1: ln not found Finaly fails with invalid root device message.

did you change your busybox config? ls and ln are part of busybox and if they are not found things wont work.
No I didn't. I'll try to remerge it and tell you. (I have to recompile the kernel too, right?)
No, you don't need to recompile the kernel - just use genkernel initrd instead of genkernel all. Also clear your binkpkg cache by doing rm -rf /usr/share/genkernel/pkg/x86_64/ before trying.
I have the same problem building 2.6.12-gentoo-r2 with 3.2.0_pre17 on a dual althon mpx rig. When I boot it drops into a shell because udev is not setup because it can not find the commands to set it up and thus there is no root. In the shell there is no ls so its very difficult to get any info on what if anything is in /dev.
Recompiling busybox made it work for me.
Looks like the cache just needs cleaning out then - closing bug.
