 Posted: Mon May 26, 2003 2:13 am Post subject: GRUB & bzImage Problems |
 |
|
Sorry if this post is a duplicate, but the search just didn't do it for me. 
| Code: | Booting "Gentoo-Box"
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3
Error 15: File Not Found
Press any key to continue...
|
Thus the problem, and that above is the message I get. I don't have a boot-disk for GRUB, because I had a bad floppy in the machine. The code above is right out of the x86 install guide. My partition config is like this:
| Code: | hda1 boot ext2
hda2 swap
hda3 root ext3
|
If I add a space in betwee "(hd0,0)" and "/boot/bzImage" I get:
| Code: | | Error 1: Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist |
I would post my grub.conf, but I don't have any idea how to get there.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Try putting in the gentoo live-cd. When it boots up, type the following:
| Code: | mount /dev/[root partition] /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/[boot partition] /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
swapon /dev/[swap partition]
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
|
That gets you into your chroot environment. Now, cd to /boot and do an ls and see exactly what is in this directory. Make sure bzImage is there, if it isn't then you have forgotten to copy it after compiling the kernel. You could also have called it something different, by mistyping, so look for any typing mistakes. Also, check that there is a directory that is a symlink to /boot, because it is needed to locate bzImage. Try checking those, see what you can come up with.

One of GRUB's nice features is the command line. (when you see the splash screen, press "c")
Since your bzImage seems to be lost, lets try to find it :
| Code: | grub> find /boot/bzImage
Error 15: File not found
grub> find /bzImage
(hd0,0)
grub> find /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
(hd0,2)
grub> |
If you are able to locate the kernel, you can boot from wherever it is :
| Code: | grub> root (hd0,2)
Filesystem type is ext2, partition type 0x83
grub> kernel /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x1169ae]
grub> boot |
