Description Steve Attaway 2003-12-31 12:16:24 UTC

In the instructions it would have genkernel users setting up default=linux with label=gk_linux.  "sbin./lilo would not work until I changed default to default=gk_linux.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




I do not think this was a software problem.  It was a documentation errorinstead.

Although those instructions are old (they will disappear from the website in a couple of weeks with the new Gentoo release) they aren't wrong. Right beneith the code listing it sais:

"""
Warning: Substitute KV with the kernel version you have installed, and make sure that default= points to your label (gk_linux if you used genkernel).
"""
