 |
|
As soon as I rebooted to try to get into my freshly installed Gentoo system, my computer searched for the boot record, and found it, and this was the output.
| Code: | L 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99
99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99
99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99
99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99
99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99
99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 |
Why does that happen, so I can chroot in from the LiveCD and fix it?
I'm using Lilo. |

Yes, I see that 
How did you install lilo?
What is in your lilo.conf ?

| Code: | boot=/dev/hdb1

vga=xxx (don't recall atm, but it is the right res/colordepth)
image=/boot/gentoo-shraps
label=gentoo
read-only

You may need to add the lines
to lilo.conf.
The error you get means LILO can't find the right boot block to continue loading, which is usually a drive geometry problem.
The actual boot sector only holds enough data to get to the "L 99 99 99" part...
The rest of the boot block is on other sectors, and it needs to reliably know where these are.
Remember to run LILO after changing the config!

Trying lba32 or linear produced no results.
Here's an error I'm getting when I run /sbin/lilo:
| Code: | Warning: /proc/partitions does not match '/dev' directory structure.
Name Change: /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc -> '/dev/hda'
The kernel was compiled with DEVFS_FS but 'devfs=boot' was omitted
as a kernel command-line boot parameter; hence the '/dev' directory
structure does not reflect DEVFS_FS device names.
Warning: /dev/hdb1 is not on the first disk
Added gentoo *
Added windows
|
Does that help any? |

Could you re-run lilo with
to get more info?

I am getting the same error... and when I try to boot gentoo the kernel loads fine but it can not find the root block.

I had the same problem after a fresh stage2 install. "emerge udev" will solve your woes.  |

Emerge udev solved nothing.
Any other ideas? |
