I emerge development-sources 2.5.51 today, did the usual, mrproper, menuconfig, bzimage, modules, modules_install, reboot.

Then I tried to emerge nvidia-kernel, which looks fine, first it mentions applying the patch to make it run on 2.5 series kernels, but then it hits an error.

Here's the output:

I get the same thing, BUT finally since 2.5.47 I can use a new fresh kernel, so whatever fixes/changes 2.5.51 include over 2.5.50 it have fixed my "root=" bootup error, and reading through changelog stated a bunch of timing fixes and stuff so I'm happy running "nv" driver while trying this new badboy out.

no luck here either :(

but there seems to be some workaround for 2.5.50
maybe it works for 2.5.51 too

Damn CRAP. I had some stuff compiled incorrectly (like DRI etc that I don't want) so I went ahead an compiled the kernel again with some changes and now I get the "root=" bootup error again, why?? I know I have all settings OK, only removed non-critical stuff, it just couldn't handle being compiled a second time... help, someone?

Well, I solved it by going back to 2.4.19-Gentoo-R7 :)

Only goes to prove that it's called beta(or prerelease, whatever) for a reason ;)
