 |
|
Hello there,
My grub.conf is missing?! I just installed Gentoo.
The first time the box booted into Grub I needed to manually edit a Grub line to get the system to boot.
After the system booted, I looked for grub.conf to edit and I could not find it. I reinstalled grub and it *magically* put my original grub file where I expected it: in the /boot/grub directory. I was able to edit it and everything was fine.
Now, it is no longer there...I need to re-edit it since I compiled a new kernel. Is there something obvious that my noob brain is missing?
Please advise,
Acajoe

| Have you got a separate /boot partition on your hard disk? Is that partition mounted? |

Solution:
| Code: | | mount /dev/hda(N) /boot |
where (N) is the partition you set aside for /boot.
Note that my /etc/fstab included the <opts> "noauto" for this mountpoint.

If /boot is not mounted it is harder to get it borked, by any means. |
