 Posted: Fri Jan 09, 2015 1:16 am Post subject: New Gentoo Install Grub2 problem [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi there,
need a little help
My install was going very well this time until I tried:
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
| Code: |
* Messages for package sys-boot/grub-2.02_beta2-r3:
*
* To avoid automounting and auto(un)installing with /boot,
* just export the DONT_MOUNT_BOOT variable.
*
*
* To avoid automounting and auto(un)installing with /boot,
* just export the DONT_MOUNT_BOOT variable.
*
* For information on how to configure GRUB2 please refer to the guide:
* http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB2_Quick_Start
* Install sys-boot/os-prober to enable detection of other operating systems using grub2-mkconfig.
* Install dev-libs/libisoburn to enable creation of rescue media using grub2-mkrescue.

* Regenerating GNU info directory index...
* Processed 83 info files.
livecd / # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
/usr/sbin/grub2-mkconfig: line 232: /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new: No such file or directory |
I am going to assume I did something wrong somehow. My install was Gentoo using the Handbook:AMD64 | Installation and also documention for Nvidia/Xorg/Gnome
only previous error I had was emerging app-admin/syslog-ng and I fixed that with emerging virtual/udev
So not sure how I did something wrong.
Can anyone point me in the rigth direction?

You didn't have /boot mounted when you ran the command | Code: | | grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg |
Mount it as root and run the command again. |

tryn,
I checked that and did it again same issue.
| Code: | livecd gentoo # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/mnt/gentoo/boot’: File exists
livecd gentoo # mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount: /dev/sda2 is already mounted or /mnt/gentoo/boot busy
/dev/sda2 is already mounted on /mnt/gentoo/boot
livecd gentoo # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
livecd / # source /etc/profile
livecd / # export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
(chroot) livecd / # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
/usr/sbin/grub2-mkconfig: line 232: /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new: No such file or directory
|
Any other ideas?
thank you,

I re emerged,
| Code: | # emerge --ask sys-boot/grub

(chroot) livecd / # mount /boot

You can see above it states "...Your boot partition was detected as being mounted as /boot..."
So I am note sure what to try next.
anyone have a suggestion?
thank you,

Good morning,
Well I figured it out. I'm going to chalk it to staying up to late and being tired.
I figured I did something wrong and I did, I skipped a step and found it this morning I soon as I looked at the hand book.
After I did
emerge --ask sys-boot/grub
I should have done
grub2-install /dev/sda
but instead I had skipped over it and went to
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
I corrected it this morning and my output is below.
| Code: | (chroot) livecd / # grub2-install /dev/sda
Installing for i386-pc platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.
(chroot) livecd / # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.17.7-gentoo
done |
thank you to everyone who looked to help and this forum certainly has.
