Re: [gentoo-dev] 2.2 kernels under gentoo

[Dave Nellans <dnellans@cs.utah.edu>]

kernel /boot/CMKernel root=/dev/hda1 rootfstype=ext2 vga=791
gentoo=notmpfs,nodevfs

is what the grub line looked like in both cases for the drop in or the
new system.  ram disk support is compiled into the kernel in both cases.

i googled a bit for similar errors and found some people who claimed
that this error and others similar could come from building things like
libc under a 2.4 kernel and then trying to use it under a 2.2 kernel. 
i'm a little skeptical of this though... any thoughts?

i haven't posted a bug yet because i'd like to make sure its not an
error on my part!
