hello,

This morning I did a emerge -UDn world and I get no error messages.
Then I rebooted the machine and now when I boot up the computer with gentoo I see this message:
Code:

RAMDISK : Could not find  valid RAM disk  starting at #0
VFS : Cannot open rootdevice "(null")" or unknown block (0,0) : error -6
pid 1: Comm swapa/0 not tainted 3.4.9-gentoo#1


Anyone who can help me to get out of this mess?

Edit 1:

Here is the content of /boot/
Code:

boot.0806
initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-3.4.9-gentoo
kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.4.9-gentoo


And here is the code of Lilo :
Code:

boot = /dev/sda6
prompt
timeout=0
default= gentoo

image=/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.4.9-gentoo
   label=gentoo
   read-only
   append="real_root=/dev/sda7"
   initrd=/boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-3.4.9-gentoo


This seems good to me.

Edit 2 : Re runnig Lilo from a chrooted enviroment did not solve my problem.
