I did as you suggested. localhost ~ # cat /boot/grub/menu.lst default 0 timeout 7 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Current Kernel root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 title Old Kernel root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz.old root=/dev/hda3 title Failsafe root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3 initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 is now what I use. Later I hope to reinsert my Live CD and get the pretty stuff off of it to beautify my Gentoo. ACPI now works perfectly. There was a small glitch in which I discovered that my newly built kernel did *not* have my networking card installed, so I had to recompile with that enabled but after this it was no sweat. Thanks for your help - I would have gotten as far as Kubuntu if you hadn't helped me (as in I would be back with Kubuntu). However, even before beautification I have to figure out how to mount my USB memory stick (/dev/sda1), however, that's for another thread. Thanks for your help - I hope to be able to make it up to you all someday : ) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
