Hi,

I have this question on the genkernel entries in the bootloader files. Why do I have to use something like
Quote:
root=/dev/ram0
and
Quote:
real_root=/dev/hda3
. Do I have to substitute real_root with something else?

Thanks in advance for the answer.

No, if you use genkernel these are the right entries.
It loads the kernel from a ram disk and afterwards transfers the root to the real_root device.
