 |
|
in the tutorial, it shows
| Quote: | title=My example Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3
|
and well, I don't understand the (hd0,0) if its hard drive 0 or 1 (doesn't matter I think) why is the second 0 there?
could someone please explain this..

by the way, the reason I want to understand this more indepth.. is so I can solve the problem I'm having..
| Quote: | Booting 'Gentoo Linux'
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext3fs, partition type 0x83
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage root=dev/hda3
Error 15: File not found
Press any key to continue... |
and this comes right after the grub screen where I select what I want to boot..

In grub: hd0 = the very first HDD on the system, usu. the master in IDE channel 1
The next "0" is the partition on that hard drive that bears your boot partition.
If you have Windows XP installed, for instance on the first part of the hard drive (or on the first hard drive like I do), then it would look something like this:
| Code: |
title=Gentoo 2.6.1-gentoo
root (hd1,0)
kernel (hd1,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.1-gentoo /root=/dev/hdb3
|
Actually, as you can see from mine, I have gentoo on a separate drive (hd1), and it's boot partition is the first partition on the hard drive, (start counting from "0").
My (hd0,0) is like this:
| Code: |
title=Windows XP Professional
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
|
So winxp is on the first partition on the first HDD.

The file doesn't exist. Are you sure that the file named "bzimage" exists on hd0, partition 0? This could be something simple like you failed to mount boot when you (re)compiled your kernel, so you copied your bzimage to the wrong boot partition. Or, the kernel you are pointing to is named something else.
Go into the liveCD, remount your boot partition and check the file, then edit grub.conf to point to the right file. Should work.

alright.. I feel like such an idiot lol.. problem fixed.. bu tnow I have
| Quote: | modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/ROOT
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/ROOT
dev/ROOT:
The superblock could not be read or does nto describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contrains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or somethign else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
*Filesystem couldn't be fixed  |
would that be grub or somethign else? I'm thinking something else heh
i checked my /etc/fstab file and i forgot to change /dev/ROOT to /dev/hda3 hehe so problem solved
