Hangs on loading the initial ramdisk ... I can boot using systemrescuecd. Unfortunately I finalized the install of grub2 and no longer have 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 two 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 actually under lvm control. I created a initramfs with genkernel (--lvm option) and as I stated earlier it worked with grub legacy. So the problem is grub2 configuration at this point. Thanks for any help including info on how to go back to grub legacy if necessary. Best, -- Valmor
