6 To be honest, I'm not sure. Can you try something like this:
7
8 root (hd0,1)
9 title Gentoo Linux 2.6.16-gentoo-r13
10 kernel /kernel-2.6.16-gentoo-r13 root=/dev/hda6
11
12 Notice:
13 1. the space after "root"
14 2. that root is now a 'global' setting
15 3. technically it is not "title=foo", but "title foo".
16
17 If I had to make a guess, I suspect the space between root and the
18 device specification is the important change.
