21 Or he used genkernel but has not given grub the appropriate options for
22 initrd and ramfs.

24 here is a sample from the install manual:
25
26 title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.12-r10
27
28 root (hd0,0)
29
30 kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r10 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3 udev
31
32 initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r10
33
34 (because of email wrapping I have put a space between separate lines,
35 the section starting "kernel" and ending "udev" is all one line.)
