 |
|
Hello everybody,
I have sucsessfully installed Gentoo AMD64 on my Computer (E6600 Conroe, MSI P965 Neo) thanks for KernelOfTruth's LiveCD which worked like a charm!
But now I ran into a Problem. The P965 Neo has a couple of SATAII Ports and i just used some random ports for my Disks, since I noticed, that it doesn't change much ... but I will look into this as soon as i come home.
The Current Setup is like this:
1. 250GB HDD - Primary with Windows and Stuff
2. 120GB HDD - Secondary Gentoo
Gentoo recognizes No.1 as /dev/sda and No.2 as /dev/sdb so in the grub.conf I added for 1.
| Code: | root(hd0,0)
norootverify
chainloader +1 |
and for 2:
| Code: | root(hd0,1)
kernel /boot/mykernel root=/dev/sdb3 |
Booting linux works, but grub doesn't boot Windows. It always says that the drive was not found.
On the Bootscreen the JMicron Controler also just shows HDD0 (1) and ODD0 (Samsung DVD Writer)
Any Ideas were to start looking?
Greetings

Well i just wrote it out of my memory ... but it is like U stated.
Also I copied it from the grub.conf.example so it should be right ...
#
The Error i get is
Error 21: Selected disk does not exist ...
but why does gentoo find it, when it is booted as sda??
Maybe this is connected to the JMicron bug?
I dunno  |

Sometimes you need to trick Windows... | Code: | title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
makeactive
chainloader +1 |
Try that.
HTH,
