Raoul,
I don't think you should be using set root=(hd0,1) with this version of grub. Here's my entries for grub 2:
Code: | menuentry "Gentoo Base System kernel-x86_64-3.3.0-rc7 (on /dev/sdb14)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd1,msdos1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 1a808cff-31af-4036-8fa7-380098554f71
linux /kernel root=UUID=b3bfd853-2f66-4946-9a08-428af6f50ba1 rootfstype=ext3 vga=794
initrd /initramfs
}
root@gentoo-gateway bill # blkid|grep gentoo
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="gentoo-boot" UUID="1a808cff-31af-4036-8fa7-380098554f71" TYPE="ext2"
/dev/sdb14: LABEL="gentoo-root" UUID="b3bfd853-2f66-4946-9a08-428af6f50ba1" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sdb15: LABEL="gentoo-home" UUID="13f4d129-3ae3-4ede-813d-0fa36b818332" TYPE="ext4"

Good Luck  _________________ Good luck

You specified a real_root=... but no root=... in the kernel line.
Use root=... if you do not want an initram. If you want an initram, you have to create one and add a corresponding command to the grub2 config after the kernel line. |

See? This forum rocks. Problem solved straight away by changing real_root= to root=
Thanks all. _________________ **************
