And copied over the new kernel and rebooted. The kernel panicked. The relevant messages are: <...> VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly on device 8:1, Freeing unused kernel memory: 276k freed Warning: unable to open an initial console Kernel panic - not syncing. No init found. Try passing init=option to kernel. Pid: 1. comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.30-gentoo-r7 #2 Call Trace: [] ? printk+0xf/0x11 [] panic+0x39/0xd4 [] init_post+0x13c/0x13e [] kernel_init+0x148/0x152 [] ? kernel_init+0x0/0x152 [] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 So far I've tried adding 'init=/bin/bash' and 'init=/sbin/init' to the command line. No help. Someone in a forum suggested chrooting and emerging sysvinit. But that's already installed. There's a million hits on google for this error message with about as many solutions. Assuming it has something to do with my kernel config, I tried running $diff -y on the two configs but at approx. 2600 lines per file I'm going to need some advice on what to zero in on. I tried to keep the new config as same as the old. But there's a lot of new features, weird stuff like CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS=y and the new decompression protocol. Maxim
