I really haven't checked for it, but i did "emerge lilo" to have a try at lilo, anyway. After that, I "emerge --unmerge grub" it. Hope I haven't done something too wrong. Finally, I did: cd /usr/src/linux make install After that, I had the folowing "/boot" content: # cd /boot # file * System.map: symbolic link to `System.map-2.6.15-gentoo-r1' System.map-2.6.15-gentoo-r1: ASCII text System.map-2.6.15-gentoo-r1.old: ASCII text System.map.old: symbolic link to `System.map-2.6.15-gentoo-r1.old' boot: symbolic link to `.' boot.0340: x86 boot sector, code offset 0x48 config: symbolic link to `config-2.6.15-gentoo-r1' config-2.6.15-gentoo-r1: ASCII English text config-2.6.15-gentoo-r1.old: ASCII English text config-gentoo-2.6.12-gentoo-r10: ASCII English text config.old: symbolic link to `config-2.6.15-gentoo-r1.old' grub: directory kernel-gentoo-2.6.12-gentoo-r10: x86 boot sector lost+found: directory map: data vmlinuz: symbolic link to `vmlinuz-2.6.15-gentoo-r1' vmlinuz-2.6.15-gentoo-r1: x86 boot sector vmlinuz-2.6.15-gentoo-r1.old: x86 boot sector vmlinuz.old: symbolic link to `vmlinuz-2.6.15-gentoo-r1.old' Now, after rebooting, it really went straight, with text menu. It starts loading really fast the system,but all of a sudden, a "Kernel Panic" says: Warning - Unable to open an initial console Kernel panic - not suncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel Which "init=" I should use ? the problem is the lack of a "initrd" file ? I tried to read mkinitrd man page, but I guess this does not apply. This is the lilo.conf. lba32 boot = /dev/hdb default=gentoo menu-scheme=Wb prompt delay = 50 vga = 791 image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hdb1 label = Gentoo read-only # read-only for checking I adapted it from sample file. I can see that : 1) there was something missin in grub conf file; 2) I need to study a little bit more ... 8( -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
