 |
|
I could use some help with booting. I used the 2004.2 Universal CD everything turned out fine until it went to boot, I keep getting Error 15 from grub when i try to boot Gentoo its on /dev/hdb, btw windows boots fine, which is on /dev/hda.
here is my grub code:
| Code: |
title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.7-gentoo-r11 root=dev/hdb3 video=vesafb
|
ive read the sticky for grub and cant seem to find any answers, ive tried it w/ and w/o the /boot before the kernel-2.... part. im a little confused now. i checked the /boot to see if the kernel was there and it was. so now im stumped could someone please help me? Thank you! |

Did you install the kernel manually or use the genkernel package?
Also, does it come to a grub menu, or go straight to the error message?
Your line says
I take it that was a typo as it should have said....

use this instead
| Code: | | kernel /kernel-2.6.7-gentoo-r11 root=/dev/hdb3 video=vesafb |
1- corrected typo in dev/hdb3
2- you dont specify /boot because /boot is on its own partition ( hd1,0)
That should do it. |
