Yeah, the original e-mail I mentioned that the second partition was an |
| 33 |
EXT2 partition for /boot, and yes, as per the install instructions. I |
| 34 |
never liked the way the Gentoo install put a symlink in /boot, pointing |
| 35 |
to /boot, in case you didn't do it that way, so the Grub menu would |
| 36 |
still work as it's provided (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-xxx-etc., so I take the |
| 37 |
/boot out of the Grub menu.lst file,and delete the symlink. OCD on my |
| 38 |
part, I imagine, but it works fine on my other Gentoo installs. |

My first thought is that it's something in the kernel config I'm doing |
| 41 |
wrong, but I can't see anything that looks obviously wrong, and the lack |
| 42 |
of error message doesn't help things. |
