 Posted: Sun Mar 21, 2004 1:08 am Post subject: Ambiguous genkernel kernel version specified |
 |
|
Ive done a stage2 install.. emerged system, emerged gnome and emerged genkernel.
I also emerged vanilla-sources and then ran "genkernel all"
It said that the kernel had compiled successfully which was comforting to see 
However i got a strange output. In the past ive tried to install Gentoo (never fully successfully) and been given something like:
kernel /Linux-2.4.0-rc6 root=/dev/hda3 (or something like that cant exactly remember) and then one for initd as well
This time around i received this:
| Quote: |
Required Kernel Params:
root=/dev/ram0 init=linuxrc real_root=/dev/$ROOT
where root is devicenode for your root parition as you should have specified in /etc/fstab
|
Now.. if ive used genkernel just as i did last time.. is this the information that i have to enter into Grub?? I dont think so.. (sorry if im wrong.. but it just looks like some information was missing from genkernel)
Since this stuff is relevant to the genkernel can i also ask about this:
| Quote: |
Recommended kernel params:
vga=0x317 splash=verbose
|
Admittedly last time i did the genkernel i did it on another computer using GRP install and computer spec was different so im not sure if both of these new things that ive quoted are because its another computer and its a stage2 now GRP (though im not sure that has anything to do with or not) but i thought id ask.
Very very lastly.. Ive read a few posts here about doing the GRUB configuration however ive run into some problems when i tried to start mine (even though i wasnt 100% about what id have to specify in the conf)
If my devices are:
| Quote: |
WindowsXP /dev/hda1
LinuxBoot /dev/hda2
LinuxSwap /dev/hda3
LinuxRoot /dev/hda4
|
What would my bootloader conf look like? I have had a thought about this.. i tried:
| Quote: | grub>root (hd0,1)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, parition type 0x83
|
then i tried..
| Quote: | grub>setup (hd0)
checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no
Error 15: File not found |
Be great if i could have some help with these problems  )

Ive seen whats up with the /dev/ram0 bsuiness and real_root stuff but im still puzzled by the problems ive experienced at grub> when specifying root and setup

If your /boot partition was not mounted properly when you emerged GRUB, then GRUB's stage files would have ended up in your / partition instead. Try this.
| Code: | grub> root (hd0,3)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit |
If this works, then you also need to change every (hd0,1) in grub.conf to (hd0,3). |
