Tyr passing init=3D option in kernel." i think this is because of a wrong grub-configuration... maybe you can he= lp me=20 out? i have my root partition on hda4, and the boot-partition on hda3... = how=20 would grubs menu.lst look like? is the following right, if not, where is = the=20 error? (note: i'm using the nt-bootloader right now, because of that i=20 installed grub into the boot-partition, not in the mbr...) default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=3D(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=3DMy example Gentoo Linux root (hd0,2)=20 kernel /bzImage root=3D/dev/hda3 maybe you can help me out... i'm very interested in gentoo - so i'd like = to=20 start it ;-) another question according to grub: like i said, i installed it into my=20 boot-partiton, what if i want to remove it from there and put it in the m= br?=20 just install it in the mbr? how to remove the version from the partition?= or=20 is this done automatically? so, enough for now... hope my remarks can help you make gentoo even bette= r ;-) stephan
