6 So if I understand correctly something like:
7
8 title Gentoo linux (update)
9 root (hd0,0)
10 kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/hda11
11 init=/linuxrc video=vesafb:1024x768-32@72 splash=verbose
12
13 should produce desired results (i.e. bootable system)?
14 If yes - I've got quite a few error messages about missing symbols in
15 kernel modules on boot :( But I've tries so many combinations already
16 that it could've been attributed to other changes I've made. So I'll
17 try it again and come back if problem persists (or if you'll tell me
18 my assumptions are wrong).
