Trouble with grub (error 16)

[alex4654]

hello.

i have got some trouble with grub. after installing gentoo as described in the tutorials i decided to use grub als a bootloader. but after rebooting grub always stops with error 16. i know that error 16 means that the filesystem is corrupt. i guess mine is not (new partitions, new filesystems, all that tested twice)

i use a IBm thinkpad t40p with:

hda1: ntfs windows xp
hda2: hidden fat partition of the ibm restore thing
hda3: ext2 /boot
hda4: reiserfs /
hda5: swap

my grub.conf looks like the following:

When you went through the documentation and issued the grub command, what series of commands did you give it to install the boot loader onto the drive. I believe the docs look something like this:

[plasmagunman]

looks okay for me. since grub doesn't know ntfs, try without the win-part. or try "rootnoverify" instead of "root" for the win-partition.
