I want to see if Gentoo is for me so I've kept it simple. My first attempt I tried a stage1 install, as this failed the second time I tried a stage3 install, if it failed less time wasted. Both times I opted for a genkernel install, everything seemed OK, no error messages and all stages completed. However both times when I get to 7.d ls /boot/kernel* /boot/initrd* I get the same result both times: /boot/initrd*:no such file or directory /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-genkernel-r6 Taking the entry in the grub configure example as a guide I've searched for any initrd files just in case it's somewhere else the only entries are a couple of .gz files in /usr/man/man4 nothing else. I could use some help to sort this out as I have no idea what to do. TIA Stewart -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
