 Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2005 7:39 pm Post subject: Grub Error 15?? |
 |
|
Hi guys first post!
I've just set up my first my first linux installation. Everything seemed to go ok until I rebooted the machine after I'd configured the grub.
I'm getting the following error message output:
| Code: |
Booting 'Gentoo'
kernel /kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0xa00, size=0x1d007c]
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-gentoo-r1
Error 15:File not found
|
I've looked at the Grub error collection and it suggests booting your maching from the LiveCD and mounting the boot.
If I boot the LiveCD and then type: cd /boot; ls I get a list of the:
System.map-2.6.9-gentoo-r1
boot
initrd-2.6.9-gentoo-r1
kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r1
Can anyone help?? |

welcome to gentoo.
it would be very handy to post the contents of your /boot/grub/grub.conf file, and your /etc/fstab file.

| Looks like your initrd doesn't exist possibly... Did you run genkernel? |

Possibly a simple typo. That happens alot. A posting of the grub.conf would show that.

| Alright, i know this sounds lame but I really must learn this. How do I copy a text when in nano? Its a real pain having to type the whole grub.conf by hand. The windows shortcut ctrl + c obviously isnt it. |

just type the file and redirect the output to disk instead of to the screen. example:
mount the floppy drive:
| Code: | | mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy |
copy the output of your data file to a floppy drive:
| Code: | cat /boot/grub/grub.conf >> /mnt/floppy/grub.conf
cat /etc/fstab >> /mnt/floppy/fstab |
now that you've got the files on a floppy, yoiu can have your way with them. this might involve carrying them to the machine that you're using to surf the forums, and cut/pasting into your reply.

| If you have GPM running and a three button mouse, highlight the text and just press the scroll button in your links/lynx window. |

i guess the traditional way to do it would be to just copy the files from hard disk to floppy after you mount the floppy: | Code: | cp /etc/fstab /mnt/floppy/fstab
cp /boot/grub/grub.conf /mnt/floppy/grub.conf |
