| Apparently, I need to have an "init=" line on boot. What would I set this to if I did a manual kernel compile? |

I did a manual kernel compile and I don't have that "init=" in my grub.conf file, here's my grub.conf file:
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 20
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.11
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.11-r9 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-16@85
|
can you paste the exact error you are getting? did you set your partitions correctly in /etc/fstab? |

| Which bootloader are you using? If it's grub, you shouldn't need an 'init=' parameter. You will need to specify your root partition however (the one that contains the kernel). |

| Oops, I put in the boot directory as the root; it works now. |
