Have you read the info after you use "genkernel all"? You need a lot |
| 32 |
more options when using this kind of kernel, take a look at: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/genkernel.xml |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Specially the "Bootloader Configuration" section. Genkernel generated |
| 37 |
kernels are NOT like hand-made, they need special options in order to |
| 38 |
use initrd and ramdisk to load stuff, among other options, like root |
| 39 |
and real root, etc. |
