title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.11-r11
# Partition where the kernel image (or OS) is located
root(hd0,4)
kernel /kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r11 root=/dev/hda5
should be
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.11-r11
root (hd0,4)
kernel /kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r11 root=/dev/hda5
Just in case that doesnt resolve you issue please post the output of /ls boot and your fstab also wouldnt hurt.
did you build your own kernel or did you use genkernel because if you used genkernel you need to have the init.d /initramfs line in there.. hope this helps good luck |

The expression root (hd0,1) refers to the partition where Grub keeps its files, (here shown as first drive, second partition). This usually is the same partition where /boot is placed. If you run # ls -la /boot (with the /boot partition mounted) and you can see the /boot/grub/ directory then root (hd0,1) is the same partition as your /boot. If you cannot see the grub directory in there you can enter grub: | Code: | # grub
grub> root ( |
and then press tab to use Grub's auto-completion feature. It will search for grub's directory and suggest suitable drives and partitions.
The expression root=/dev/hda5 refers to your Linux OS root fs.

Yeah, just so i don't get confused every time I re-install gentoo, i check to see that
these two lines are the same ...the (hdx,n) part
splashimage=(hd0,4)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
root(hd0,4)
And this one different
root=/dev/hda5
keeps my sanity |
