 |
|
I keep getting the following error no matter what I try:
| Code: | Booting 'Gentoo Linux 2.6.12-r6'
root (hd0,1)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/ram0 init=linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda4 udev
Error 15: File not found
Press any key to continue... |
My grub.conf looks like this:
| Code: | default 0
timeout 30
splashimage(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.12-r6
root (hd0,1)
kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/ram0 init=linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda4 udev
initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6
title=Windows XP
root (hd0,0)

I can boot into windows just fine, and the splashimage works with GRUB, so I assume that the path is correct. I have checked, and the files are in /boot just like I have them listed there, but it keeps saying it can't find it.
Also, here is my /etc/fstab for reference:
| Code: | /dev/hda2 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda4 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |
I must be missing something obvious, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what is wrong.

A few post above this (in the stickies) is a thread called
grub error collection
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-122656.html
Error 15 is to do with GRUB not finding the kernel to boot
does the kernel image exist in /boot?
was /etc/fstab edited correctly ie changing /dev/BOOT to the correct /dev node
is the kernel name in /boot the same as what was entered into the grub.conf?

Yeah, once you've compiled your kernel, you have to copy it over to your boot partition.
Your grub.conf and fstab looks fine though. |

Genkernel copies the kernel and the initrd over by default, so check that you typed them correctly into the grub.conf.

Yes it does, so I was very confused. I must have checked the filenames at least 5 times and still missed that I had a '-' instead of a '.'
I'm not quite sure how that happened, but now I feel like a moron 
Now I am having issues get my modules loaded, but hopefully that won't be too much of an issue to fix. |

lol I wouldn't call you a moron.
As to modules loading, is it a case that they are not loading at startup, BUT you can "modprobe" them
IF that is the case have a look in /etc/modules.autoload.d/
There are two txt files kernel-2.4 and kernel-2.6 choose the one for your kernel (likely 2.6)
This file auto loads kernel modules
here is mine
| Code: |
# /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6: kernel modules to load when system boots.
#
# Note that this file is for 2.6 kernels.
#
# Add the names of modules that you'd like to load when the system
# starts into this file, one per line. Comments begin with # and
# are ignored. Read man modules.autoload for additional details.
# For example:
# 3c59x

In grub.conf
< init=/linuxrc > not < init=linuxrc >
perhaps it will help |
