 Posted: Wed Dec 18, 2002 8:33 pm Post subject: GRUB Install Walkthrough |
 |
|
ok, when I installed Gentoo, I ran into issues with GRUB. The particular problem is that GRUB saw my IDE drive first, then my SCSI Drives, and my BIOS recognized my SCSI Drive first, so my MAP File in GENTOO was:
| Code: |
(fd0) /dev/floppy/0
(hd0) /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/disc
(hd1) /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
(hd2) /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target1/lun0/disc
(hd3) /dev/ataraid/disc0/disc
(hd4) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target4/lun0/disc
(hd5) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/disc
(hd6) /dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target1/lun0/disc
(hd7) /dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target2/lun0/disc
|
Following are the steps I followed to solve this. This solution should work for ANY gentoo installation.
I made a grub Boot Disk and booted it. I went into command line mode and did root (hd then press tab and it'll show you a list of hd0 through hd7. I typed 0 making it (hd0 and press tab and it'll list the partitions and types. I repeated this until it listed the correct partitions and types for the drive I want to boot(that drive being hd4 for me)
Anyways, use the information you just got along with a map file (the format is:
| Code: |
(fd0) /dev/floppy/0
(hd4) /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/disc
(hd1) /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
(hd2) /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target1/lun0/disc
(hd3) /dev/ataraid/disc0/disc
(hd0) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target4/lun0/disc
(hd5) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/disc
(hd6) /dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target1/lun0/disc
(hd7) /dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target2/lun0/disc

(that's my map file after corrections, the 0 and 4 switched positions)
make sure your map file agrees with what you found when you did the grub boot disk. Now modify your grub.conf and redo your root and install steps. My grub.conf file has:
| Code: |
default 2
timeout 10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo 2.4.20-ck1.19(safe)
root(hd0,0)
kernel /boot/gentoo-happy
|
and everything works fine after doing:
| Code: |
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd4)
|
from grub in gentoo.
good luck.
