 |
|
I am doing a new Gentoo install, and ran across a Grub error I've never seen before.
My system is pretty basic:
/dev/hde1 --> /boot
/dev/hde2 --> swap
/dev/hde3 --> /
My grub.conf file:
| Code: | title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.20-r8
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.20-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/hde3
and I get this:
GRUB Loading stage1.5
GRUB loading, please wait...
Error 1 |
By the way, I've been using and installing Gentoo for a few years now, but this one has me stumped.
My wacky idea: this is the same computer that gave me a GRUB error after I upgraded the kernel. I'm installing Gentoo in the same computer on a new hard drive, but maybe this is a motherboard problem? This computer is 7 years old.

I think it's this thats wrong
If you have /boot on /dev/hde it should look like this

Running Gentoo-2.6.21-r4 (again as 2.6.22 kernels hogs CPU), all but SD reader works fine. |

No, grub does see this drive as (hd0). The grub autocomplete function confirms this.
The reason that it is /dev/hde is because my motherboard has a built in Highpoint RAID controller, and drives plugged into it are identified as /dev/hde, /dev/hdf, /dev/hdg, etc.
I have two cd drives that are in the regular PATA controller, and they are /dev/hda and /dev/hdb.
