1 my grub.conf:
2 ' default 0
3 timeout 5
4 splashimage=(hd0.0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
5
6 title=linux-2.6.13
7 root (hd0.0)
8 kernel /genkernel--x86_64-2.6.13-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc
9 ramdisk-8193 real_root=/dev/hda3 udev
10 initrd /initrd'
11
12 I see hoew by saying root (hd0,0) leaves things relative to /boot. But
13 there is no linuxrc in /boot. I think this is the prob.
14
15 The error code is 15.
16 Thanks
