How do I know if any of these happen?
> Possible causes:

Well, it did with Arch, the boot partition has the boot, legacy_boot and
esp flags. Plus if anything was to be problematic, I'd assume it would
be BIOS or syslinux detection of the drive bootable device, not mounting.

I'm not sure what you mean. Is there any option I should enable for
genkernel? I read on the Wiki page that

If that's what I think it is, I tell syslinux to wait 5 seconds. It does
work. In every computer. It's when it starts loading modules and all,
reaching the point where initrd needs to mount the root device that it
gives an error. I don't know how to tell it to wait there though. And as
I said, even if I did, it wouldn't work on all computers, on some initrd
cant figure it out at all.

No problem, thanks for the response. I'm just baffled with this error.
