 |
|
hi all!
I've tried installing Gentoo 2005.1 very often but it was never succesfull.
At the first time it couldn't find my root device...
Second grub didn't even show up properly and I got "Error loading operating system".....
I've got 2 IDE HDs in my PC, both are jumpered CS enabled
The first in mainly for windows and on the second I'm trying installing gentoo.
so /dev/hda is Windows
/dev/hdb is formated after my last try
could you please tell me how my grub config should look like or how I should configure USE because I want to install it this time succesfully.
thx

Your system is booting of a harddisk that has no bootloader installed in the mbr. Change the sequence in the bios, install grub in the mbr of the harddisk or swap the harddisks on the connectors.

so I should install grub on /dev/hdb where /boot is located? |

You should install grub on the harddisk that your system boots from. Or change that setting in the bios.
