Re: [gentoo-user] strange /init kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r5 boot problems

[Chee Ong Loh <onnyloh@gmail.com>]

solution are simple.
there is a new version of genkernel in portage.

try:
emerge --sync and emerge genkernel
and finally rebuild the entire kernel and that should solve.
At least I've solve mine.

good luckzzzzzz
