Yeeeow. Bootloader config changes?

Okay, so I admit, I'm lame and I used genkernel all to build my kernel. But I do keep it up to date.

So I was building 2.6.12-r6, and I noticed that a few things had changed. The filename had changed from kernel-2.6.12-r4 to kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6. I can deal with that. Instead of initrd, I get a initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6. A little weirder, but I can deal with it.

So I plug everything into grub.conf and reboot. No problems, except now that I have to specify /dev/hda4 as my root device every time I start up. I can't seem to find much documentation (or any topics here) on these changes, so that leads me to believe it's just new stuff and nobody's had time to complain, or it's just my system.

Can anyone confirm this? Or point me in the right direction?

Hi,

sounds kind of strange - you're sure the only thing you've changed is the new kernel version?
I don't use genkernel, therefore I cannot make a statement about the new naming-schemes...
But as for the grub-problem, you can easily solve it by editing
