I have grub legacy, (not 2 so unless you unmasked it you should have a simulare setup) Basically yes, root(hd0,0) should be correct.
here is what grub.conf looks like: (note that I do not have a initrd as /usr is not separate)
| Code: | default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Hardened Gentoo 3.3.1-r1
root(hd0,0)
kernel /boot/hardened-3.3.1-r1 root=/dev/sda3 |
and here are my partitions from fstab: | Code: | /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda3 / ext4 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda4 /home ext4 noatime 0 0 |

thank you. One thing i noticed that is different on mine is right after your kernel information it says root=/dev/sda3 where mine says the following:
root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev$t=/dev/sda3
Should i change it to look like yours? |

ravelink69,
Yes, it will look something like:
| Code: | root@gentoo-gateway ati-drivers-12.3 # mount|column -t
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=10240k,nr_inodes=465050,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/sdb14 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,errors=continue,barrier=1,data=writeback) |
You're in your gentoo installation. It would be easier if you continued with the installation chrooted from the cd.

(hd0,2) would be where your / filesystem resides.
Since you have a separate boot partition don't use /boot/kernel just use /kernel
You might need to add root=/dev/sda3 rootfstype=ext3 to your kernel line
Good luck

Since you have using an initrd (I assume since you posted a grub.conf with one earlier), you should have root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/sda3 What you posted has some extra garbage in it here: real_root=/dev$t=/dev/sda3 that might be the problem.

| i dont even know if i need the initrd. I just saw it in the install document and just did what it said. I can remove that and make it like yours because i dont have a seperate /usr directory either. |

Well, what you can do is add one grub entry like mine without the initrd and another with. That way at least one should work. The biggest thing is that you may run into problems if you have required drivers as modules. If you used genkernel then you definitively need it.
