So when you manually edit the kernel line in GRUB CLI you end up with a |
| 11 |
line like |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
kernel bzimage root=/dev/hda3 |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
? |

If so, then it sounds like you are missing the symlink in /boot for |
| 18 |
boot. (cd /boot && ln -s . boot) |
| 19 |
|

You can try removing the /boot from your kernel line instead of fixing |
| 21 |
the symlink, since hd0,0 is /boot, there is no real need to preface the |
| 22 |
kernel line with /boot. The synlink is just used for compatibility (and |
| 23 |
in fact, I remove it during install as I don't care for circular |
| 24 |
symlinks). |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The other issue is your kernel may not be "kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r7" but |
| 27 |
some variation, and the symlink for bzimage is pointing to the correct |
| 28 |
spelling of the kernel name. |

As for the reiserfs, I wasn't truley aware of the boot issues, but now I |
| 31 |
do recall reading that. I do add notail to all my reiserfs mount points, |
| 32 |
so it's not an issue for me. I would think it's not the root cause of |
| 33 |
your problem, as you are able to boot the system. I believe if it was |
| 34 |
truly a reiserfs issue, you could not get the system to boot from /boot. |
