umarhafeez,
i think that your root(0.4) is where your typo is. I'm pretty tired right now, so I'm not sure I'm remembering right but i think grub starts counting from 0 instead of one. Because there is no /dev/sda4 on your drive according to your fdisk output, you could try changing your root address to root(0.3) and see if that works.

ppruka...pretty please with sugar on top?
wait you weren't point at "generkernel"... i made a mistake typing this post.... the grub.conf entry does say "genkernel"...original post is now edited..... Just for extra info.... i also tried hd0,2 ... partition type 0x5 the error is error 17 cannot mount partition....., i tried hd0,5 ... partition type is 0x82 and error 17 (cannot mount selected partition) and also hd0,6 and again same error as quoted above (error 15 file not found) partition type 0x83
only hd0,3 is error 22... |

Did you retype all of the code you posted, or is some of it cut and paste? It looks to me like there are several typos. |

Is your /boot/boot a symlink to /boot? Also, try these modified commands:
| Code: | kernel (hd0,4)/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.3.8-gentoo real_root=/dev/sda7
initrd (hd0,4)/initramfs-genkernel-x86-3.3.8-gentoo

Since you are still suffering and spotting your own typos is really hard - you read what you intended to write, not whats there, here is a hint. From your original post | Code: | title Gentoo Linux x86_64 3.3.8
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/kernel-genrkernel-86_64-3.3.8-gentoo real_root=/dev/sda7
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-3.3.8-gentoo |
Its in your kernel line ...

| Yep I made so many hand copy errors . (i am setting up gentoo as my main distro on my laptop so i am not chrooting into it from another GUI based distro) so i was thinking it must have been an error in one of the files but just couldn't spot it for two nights!!!.... (i was concentrating on first line of grub.conf entry (hd0,4) and second (kernel).... but the mistake was in initrd and it was writtent "....genkernel-x86-3.3.8..." instead of "...genkernel-x86_64..." |

Try to use the gpm service next time, so that you have a working mouse even if you are in the console. Then you can copy and paste. If you provide us erroneous input, we will be able to provide you only useless advice. It's the simple formula: GIGO and sometimes applies to humans too
