Only other thing I ran into (admittedly in 2004 or 2005 or so) is if genkernel is doing any initrd-magick for you you'll need to either understand it and do it yourself, or config your kernel so all that stuff is built-in. It was a little embarrassing when none of my JFS partitions got found on that first reboot. Keep a boot CD or DVD in case of real disaster, and configure your current boot kernel as an alternative choice in GRUB until you get the hand-rolled version stabilized. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
