1 Hi group,
2
3 My hand-made kernel was giving me grief(see bug
4 #132141) so I did
5 #emerge genkernel, #zcat /proc/config.gz >
6 /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6, #genkernel
7 all, and rebooted.

9 Here's the grub session(not using grub-conf):
10
11 grub> root
12 (hd0,1): ext2fs, partition type 0x83
13
14 grub> kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.16-gentoo-r3
15 [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1c00, size=0x101fb0]
16
17 grub> boot
18 ...
19 VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown block
20 (8,7)
21 Please append a correct "root=" boot option
22 Kernel panic-not syncing...unknown block (8,7)
23
24 It doesn't matter if I specify the root partition in
25 the 'kernel' line or not. The original kernel *will*
26 boot using the same grub commands, just won't load any
27 modules, among other things.
