genkernel report this:
Code:
* Adding kernel to /boot/grub/grub.conf
floppy0: no floppy controllers found

and the file /boot/grub/grub.conf is empty!

I've installed grub with
Code:
grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda

and /boot/grub/device.map contains
Code:
(hd0) /dev/sda

The grub installer does not configure grub for you,all it does is install grub into the mbr, you will still need to fill in your grub.conf manually.

genkernel should fill grub.conf for me not grub-install :)

grub-install also create /boot/grub/device.map I've modified genkernel to copy this file in ${TEMP}/grub.map (/usr/bin/genkernel line 31) the floppy controller problem disappear but grub.conf is still empty
