Hi everyone. last week I decided to try Gentoo.  I followed the handbook,
compiled a kernel, but now I need to set up grub2 to find it. How do I do
that?  I have Linux Mint currently installed, which has the grub2.  I have
tried to add the gentoo, but I think I am missing something, like the
initramfs.  I am rechecking the handbook. Ok I did not compile to use the
initramfs, and I almost got it to work. It started booting then errors with
something like:

no filesystem can mount root

root is ext4. So now I am at a loss to what to do.
