 |
|
Hi,
I'm new to Gentoo, and a friend of mine helped me install and configure it. Problem is yesterday I ran emerge -uav world. I downloaded the updates and shut down my computer. When I started it today I get this fun error:
Grub stage1.5 loading....
Error 17
So I happen to have a copy of Knoppix in case something like this happens. I'm running that right now, but I'd like to get Gentoo back. I read the forums and looked at the Grub topic to trouble shoot it myself but I've failed. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it, below is some background information and my grub.conf file. Thanks!
My primary hard drive is 20GB and has windows xp on it, secondary 120GB hard drive has a partition for grub and the rest is for Gentoo. The breakdown is as follows:
hda2 - Windows
hdb1 - Grub boot partition
hdb2 - Gentoo
My grub.conf file:
| Code: |
#Boot automatically after 30 secs.
timeout 30
#By default, boot the first entry.
fallback 1
# For booting GNU/Linux
title GNU/Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hdb2
#initrd /initrd.img
# For booting Windows NT or Windows95
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd1,1)
hide (hd1,0)
map (hd1) (hd0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
# For loading DOS if Windows NT is installed
#chainload /bootsect.dos

I posted this before, but apparently I only get read access with knoppix on my hard drives and therefore I can't seem to modify my grub.conf file (or any other file for that matter). Is there any way that I can get around grub and maybe manually boot gentoo? Or maybe I can somehow use a command to modify my files? Thanks for any help, I would greatly appreciate it. |
