Can you try something like this: root (hd0,1) title Gentoo Linux 2.6.16-gentoo-r13 kernel /kernel-2.6.16-gentoo-r13 root=/dev/hda6 Notice: 1. the space after "root" 2. that root is now a 'global' setting 3. technically it is not "title=foo", but "title foo". If I had to make a guess, I suspect the space between root and the device specification is the important change. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
