1.1

Hello,
I am trying to install gentoo on a desktop machine. I downloaded the 
minimal CD and followed the instruction in the quick installation. Now, 
I have a problem either in the grub configuration or in kernel and I 
need help to figure this one out.

I have existing partitions for windows and my previous Fedora (/home 
directory), therefore I installed gentoo on /dev/hda3. The problem is I 
get a kernel panic when I try to boot. In grub I am using (hd0,2) as my 
root, because I don't want to write anything to the mbr. After editing 
grub.conf, I run a grub shell, and execute the commands root(hd0,2) then 
setup(hd0,2). Then tried to reboot.

Here the relevant part of grub.conf:
============================
title Linux
root (hd0,2)
kernel (hd0,2)/boot/kernel root=/dev/hda3
=================================

I don't have a separate partition for boot, it's on the root "/" filesystem.

Can anyone tell what's going on ? If there's missing info please let me 
know, as everyone has different way when troubleshooting a problem.
