How do I know if any of these happen? |

Well, it did with Arch, the boot partition has the boot, legacy_boot and |
| 5 |
esp flags. Plus if anything was to be problematic, I'd assume it would |
| 6 |
be BIOS or syslinux detection of the drive bootable device, not mounting. |

I'm not sure what you mean. Is there any option I should enable for |
| 10 |
genkernel? I read on the Wiki page that |

If that's what I think it is, I tell syslinux to wait 5 seconds. It does |
| 14 |
work. In every computer. It's when it starts loading modules and all, |
| 15 |
reaching the point where initrd needs to mount the root device that it |
| 16 |
gives an error. I don't know how to tell it to wait there though. And as |
| 17 |
I said, even if I did, it wouldn't work on all computers, on some initrd |
| 18 |
cant figure it out at all. |

No problem, thanks for the response. I'm just baffled with this error. |
