my grub.conf:
' default 0
timeout     5
splashimage=(hd0.0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=linux-2.6.13
root (hd0.0)
kernel /genkernel--x86_64-2.6.13-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/ram0  init=/linuxrc 
ramdisk-8193 real_root=/dev/hda3 udev
initrd /initrd'

I see hoew by saying root (hd0,0) leaves things relative to /boot.  But 
there is no linuxrc in /boot.  I think this is the prob.

The error code is 15. 
Thanks
