Correct me if I'm wrong... but init= passes what program to use as init... and you don't have the executable '3' 
You _should_ have /sbin/init (or is it /bin/init? I'm tired  ), but if you really sscrewed something up, try /bin/sh, then fix your install from there.

take it out. the init switch is for executing applications on boot (ie: /bin/bb), instead of calling the default runlevel, which is 3 anyways.
ps: don't bother with the numbered runlevels... gentoo always boots into 3, and everything else gets taken care of by the named runlevels (boot and default)
if you really want to boot into a certain runlevel, put that runlevel on the end of the kernel line by itself. ie: "kernel /kernel root=/dev/hda boot"
cheers

grub.conf:
| Code: | # Which listing to boot as default. 0 is the first, 1 the second etc.
default 0
# # How many seconds to wait before the default listing is booted.
timeout 30
# # Nice, fat splash-image to spice things up :)
# # Comment out if you don't have a graphics card installed
splashimage=(hd0,6)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.22-r8
# # Partition where the kernel image (or operating system) is located
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.22-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/sda7
#
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.22-r8 (rescue)
# # Partition where the kernel image (or operating system) is located
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.22-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/sda3 init=/bin/bb
#Title for Windows and another operating systems
title=Other Operating Systems
root

PS: i have removed the support for initramfs from my kernel i have recompiled him. |

get rid of the init= part!!! You may not have the excecutable /bin/bb, and even if you did, that's not what you want!
Either take it out, or change it to init=/sbin/init
poly-p man

Two questions: What's the output when it fails, and what does your directory structure say? Grab some livecd and check out whether you are missing, for example, /sbin/init.
Also, what does your partition table look like?

Based on this excerpt from the /etc/fstab you posted here: | /etc/fstab: | /dev/sda7 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 0 1
/dev/sda3 / ext3 noatime 0 1 |
...you still don't have your grub.conf sorted.
The root statement tells GRUB the root of all paths used in the rest of the configuration entry. It is almost always the GRUB device name for your /boot partition. Your setting of (hd0,6)--the GRUB equivalent of /dev/sda7--looks correct. In conjunction with the kernel line, it means GRUB will load the kernel from (hd0,6)/boot/kernel-2.6.22-gentoo-r8.
The root= option on the kernel line, however, isn't a setting for GRUB--it tells the kernel the location of your Linux root filesystem. Based on your fstab above, you want /dev/sda3 there.
Try this: | grub.conf: | title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.22-r8
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.22-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/sda3 |
