Hi all,

i did follow the staps in the handbook x86, when i reached step "10.d. Roobooting the System"
it wil stop after choosing the gentoo linux in the grub loader.

my error is: Error 15

I would guess that you did not create an initrd/initramfs. if not, your grub.conf root and kernel lines should not be trying to find to find the root filesystem at /dev/ram0.

try
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xfkernel01 root=/dev/sda3

If you did create an initrd/initramfs, your grub.conf needs an initrd line

root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xfkernel01 real_root=/dev/sda3
initrd /boot/your initramfs name --use ls /boot to find name

apologies, I tracked off on the problem you had not gotten to yet ..
boot cd
mount the gentoo partitions and check the kernel name and that the boot symlink exists:

Monte5,

Error 15 mens that a file you have named in grub.conf does not exist in /boot, so grub cannot load it.

read this carefully about Error 15:

I think your solution is in this !
