I looked around on the forums, but didn't see anything like this. I've installed GRUB successfully (no errors on grub-install), but when I reboot, it goes straight to the command prompt. Here's my grub.conf:

timeout 10
default 0
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

Title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.11-r6-v1
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r6-v1 root=/dev/sda3


This is my fstab file:

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/sda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 0
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0

# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none /proc proc defaults 0 0


I'm not sure what's going on here. Everything else seems to go OK. I would think that a problem with grub.conf would have different effects. Any ideas?

Edit: I'm looking over the "Grub Error Collection" thread. Thought it might be a missing symlink in the grub folder. I put it in, rebooted, no luck. Going to try manually running/installing grub instead of grub-install.

Perhaps you should replace "Title=" with "title=".
