Hi
I am experimenting with gentoo (well not just yet and i can not boot the gentoo kernel. Gentoo is on partition /dev/sda6 and doesn't have a boot flag. Partitinon /dev/sda1 has a boot flag. I don't have a separate boot partition. Gentoo kernel was compiled with genkernel. When i choose gentoo from syslinux menu nothing happens. Menu just refreshes. If i press ESC and write down gentoo then it complains about not finding image ...
I didn't install syslinux on gentoo.
Here is my syslinux.cfg:
LABEL arch
MENU LABEL Arch Linux
LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux
APPEND root=UUID=9f8eadcf-69e5-4786-869c-94cafcfff567 ro
INITRD ../initramfs-linux.img
LABEL gentoo
MENU LABEL gentoo
LINUX /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-3.8.13-gentoo
APPEND root=UUID=9ea3ac89-3b72-458a-95fc-61095ea52cc4 ro
INITRD /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-3.8.13-gentoo
I have also followed arch wiki about chainloading and this is my syslinux.cfg from gentoo partition:
timeout 10
ui menu.c32
label gentoo
linux /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-3.8.13-gentoo
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-3.8.13-gentoo
append root=UUID=9ea3ac89-3b72-458a-95fc-61095ea52cc4 ro quiet
label MAIN
com32 chain.c32
append hd0 0
EDIT:
SOLVED by this config changes:
syslinux.cfg on /dev/sda1 (arch)
LABEL gentoo
MENU LABEL gentoo
COM32 chain.c32
APPEND hd0 6
syslinux.cfg on /dev/sda6 (gentoo):
TIMEOUT 10
UI menu.c32
LABEL gentoo
MENU LABEL gentoo
LINUX /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-3.8.13-gentoo
INITRD /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-3.8.13-gentoo
APPEND root=UUID=9ea3ac89-3b72-458a-95fc-61095ea52cc4 ro quiet
LABEL MAIN
COM32 chain.c32
APPEND hd0 0
Any ideas?

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.
