(big compile left to complete). The system boots if I use the command line option of grub (c): root (hd0,1) kernel /kernel-2.6.16-gentoo-r13 boot The system will not boot from any of the entries I've tried in grub.conf: Notice I've tried all sorts of partitions for the root=/dev/ entry. #0 title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.16-gentoo-r13 root(hd0,1) kernel /kernel-2.6.16-gentoo-r13 root=/dev/hda1 vga=791 #1 title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.16-gentoo-r13 root(hd0,1) kernel /kernel-2.6.16-gentoo-r13 root=/dev/hda2 vga=791 #2 title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.16-gentoo-r13 root(hd0,1) kernel /kernel-2.6.16-gentoo-r13 root=/dev/hda5 vga=791 #3 title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.16-gentoo-r13 root(hd0,1) kernel /kernel-2.6.16-gentoo-r13 root=/dev/hda6 vga=791 df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda6 40964440 1207148 39757292 3% / udev 512540 224 512316 1% /dev /dev/hda2 313200 36700 276500 12% /boot /dev/hda7 23542444 32840 23509604 1% /usr/local none 512540 0 512540 0% /dev/shm while the fstab : dev/hda2 /boot reiserfs noatime,notail 1 2 /dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hda6 / reiserfs noatime 0 1 /dev/hda7 /usr/local reiserfs noatime 0 1 none /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 is an unmounted NTFS partition for installing XP at a later date. I ran 'grub-install /dev/hd0' and the /boot/grub/device.map looks like this: (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hda Any ideas what I missed? I pretty much followed the Gentoo Handbook for amd64..
