I am getting the following error message during boot. It doesn't show up with dmesg, and the booting seems to proceed successfully regardless. However, i am still wondering what caused this and could it cause potential problems:
>> Activating udev
>> Determining root device
>> Mounting root
mkdir: Cannot create directory '/newroot/tmp/.initrd': Read-only file system
>> Booting (initramfs)
what is this /newroot/tmp/.initrd business?
my boot partition is /dev/hda2, and my root partition is /dev/hdb9

I am not sure what that is, but I suggest you change the topic title to be more specific. I am certain someone here can help you, but you need to catch their eye :p

I ran into this same issue... try downgrading your genkernel version (assuming you didn't roll your own).
| Code: |
emerge unmerge genkernel
emerge =sys-kernel/genkernel-3.3.10
|
Long term you may want to use /etc/portage/package.mask if this isn't fixed in the next revision.
