I've been having problems with a new kernel. Upon boot, it tells me that it can't mount /dev/ram0 and it doesnt exist. this is quite frankly bollocks as my other kernel (2.6.12-r4) can boot from /dev/ram0 no problems. here is my grub.conf

default 1
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,5)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.12-r4
root (hd0,5)
kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda9 vga=791 video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,1280x1024-32@60 splash=silent,fadein,theme=emergence quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 udev ro
initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r4

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.12-r6
root (hd0,5)
kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 init=/linuxrc root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/sda9 vga=791 video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,1280x1024-32@60 gentoo=nodevfs splash=silent,fadein,theme=emergence quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 udev ro
initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6

any ideas?
also, i emerged gimp the other day, but there is no executable for it. $gimp and #gimp don't work, i've searched my entire hdd but can't find anything..
