Hi, guys

It is a shame, I know, but after several years using Gentoo, it is the  
first time I try to build a kernel without "genkernel".

And now I can't boot to that new kernel, it does not find (and really do  
not have a) /dev/sda* root partition ("real-root"); during the boot it  
stops, complaining about that, gives me the option to get a shell, from  
which I am able to see that there is no /dev/sda* .

I have included everything SATA, so it looks like that is not a kernel  
problem, but a initramfs issue, I guess.

What am I missing?

Thanks a lot
Francisco

PS: my boot partition is sda2, sda3 is a swap partition, and everything  
else is in sda4. sda1 is not used (up to now) and this is my grub.conf :
