Hi,

After a few solved pro= blems, I am still unable to completely boot using grub:2, and now I just ca= n't find anything else to fiddle with.

So I would really a= ppreciate if someone could take a look at my configuration:

- system is amd64;
- hard disk partitioning:
=C2= =A0 - two first primary partitions, unused (for now);
=C2=A0 - thi= rd (/dev/sda3) is /boot partition, kernel built and in place;
=C2= =A0 - extended partition as fourth partition;
=C2=A0 - logical partition (/dev/sda5) is "/" linux partiti= on, ext4 formated;
- emerged=C2=A0 the followin= g, before building kernel;
=C2=A0 - genkernel ;
=C2=A0 - media-gfx/splashutils-1.5.4.4-r1;
=C2=A0 - media-gfx/splash-themes-gentoo-20101212-r1 ;
=C2=A0 - sys-apps/= v86d-0.1.10;
- genkernel command line:
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 gen= kernel all \
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 --color --menuco= nfig --splash=3Dnatural_gentoo \
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 --spla= sh-res=3D1024x768,1280x1024,1366x768,1440x900 \
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 --mountboot --install=C2=A0 --un= ionfs --real-root=3D/dev/sda5 \
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2= =A0 --ramdisk-modules --postclear
- kernel built with:
=C2= =A0 - CONFIG_FB_UVESA=3Dy
=C2=A0 - CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=3D"/usr/= share/v86d/initramfs"
=C2=A0 - CONFIG_EXT4_FS=3Dy
=C2=A0 - CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=3Dy
=C2= =A0 - CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY=3Dy
- grub2 defaults (/etc/defa= ults/grub2) only difference from original:
=C2=A0 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=3D&= quot;init=3D/linuxrc real_root=3D/dev/sda5 video=3Duvesafb,mtrr:3,ywrap spl= ash=3Dsilent,fadein,theme:natural_gentoo nodevfs udev devfs=3Dnomount CONSO= LE=3D/dev/tty1 quiet"

- sample extract from grub:0 config file, used in a working = (a bit older) system:
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 title=3DGentoo Linux (3.8.13-ge= ntoo)
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 root (hd0,1)
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 kernel /boot= /kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.8.13-gentoo ro root=3D/dev/ram0 \
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 init=3D/linuxrc real_root=3D/dev= /sda4 vga=3D791 splash=3Dsilent,theme:natural_gentoo \
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2= =A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 console=3Dtty1 verbose nodevfs udev devfs=3Dnom= ount CONSOLE=3D/dev/tty1 quiet
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 initrd /boot/initramfs= -genkernel-x86_64-3.8.13-gentoo


Now the boot stops showing the messages (afte= r the Tux logos appeared):

Can't open cfg file //etc/= splash/natural_gentoo/640x480.cfg
No verbose picture specifie= d in the theme
No silent picture specified in the theme
No verbose picture specified in= the theme
Can't open cfg file //etc/splash/natural_gentoo/640x= 480.cfg
No verbose picture specified in the theme
No silent pic= ture specified in the theme
!! Block device /dev/sda5 is not a valid root device

The last line explains the ones preceding it.

= Any hints on where to look at?
