 Posted: Sat Mar 11, 2006 11:36 pm Post subject: boot directory inside /boot |
 |
|
Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, but I wasn't really sure where to post. I was wondering, I have a boot directory inside my boot partition. At first, I thought that I had did something incorrectly,and I removed the nested directory (as it seemed to contain the same stuff as the boot partition). I restarted my computer and received a grub "Loading Stage 1.5... Error 15" error. This was remedied by creating a boot directory inside /boot and copying everything from the top-level boot to the nested folder. do I need both of these directories? Is there a grub configuration problem somewhere? And most importantly, when I recomplie my kernel, where should I place the new kernel image?
Thanks for your help

That boot directory was a symlink to the original boot directory

$ ls -l /boot/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 Feb 25 04:47 boot -> .

| Thanks, so do i just "ln -s boot boot", or is it something different since it's actually a partition? Sorry, I'm fairly new to some of this stuff. |

Run this as root to create it the way that it was
| Code: |
cd /boot
ln -s . boot
