Hello guys,

i just don't get my notebook booting, grub is loading, but then i get the following error:

Quote:
Booting 'blabla'

root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /kernel-2.6.5r1 root=/dev/hda3 vga=792

Error 15: File not found

Press any key to continue...


....here is my grub.conf:

Quote:
default 0
timeout 10

title 'blabla'
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.5r1 root=/dev/hda3 vga=792


hda1 /boot
hda2 swap
hda3 /

...strange, that there was no folder "grub" under /boot, i had to create this manually. Do you have any idea what can be wrong here ?

ataphoya: here's the translation ;)

You probably forgot to mount /dev/hda1 (boot) before copying the kernel there. I don't speak German though 8O. Maybe a mod can move this over to german subforum.

the kernel lays under /boot, it's just the grub folder i didn't have... so i created with grub.conf and menu.lst -> grub.conf inside

Unless you mount /dev/hda1 you won't see that grub folder. Make sure that you mounted /dev/hda1 first.

Code:
mount /dev/hda1 /boot
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.5r1
