Of course it won't boot then.
GRUB 2 does not use grub.conf anymore.
It reads /boot/grub/grub.cfg. This file is formed automatically by grub2- mkconfig command, you have to edit the parameters in /etc/default/grub.

Did edit the new /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=3D"dolvm"

Still no booting. Ha= ngs on loading the initial ramdisk ...
I can boot using syste= mrescuecd. Unfortunately I finalized the install of grub2 and no longer hav= e grub legacy installed. I regret that. Also, before I finalized the grub2 = install I tested the initramfs with grub legacy and it worked. There were t= wo new issues I addressed in this recent portage sync. One was the use of a= initramfs because my / and /usr are not in the same filesystem. /usr is ac= tually under lvm control. I created a initramfs with genkernel (--lvm optio= n) and as I stated earlier it worked with grub legacy. So the problem is gr= ub2 configuration at this point.

Thanks for any help including info on how to go back to grub= legacy if necessary.

Best,

Does anyone know whether there is a place I can look for error messages? st= ill no luck on booting with grub2.

Thanks,
