did you forget to create grub.conf?
or did you misspell it (Linux is case sensitive, so grub.conf must be all lowercase)? |

/boot/grub/grub.conf must be linked to /boot/grub/menu.lst iirc.
| Code: | | ln -s /boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/menu.lst |

please make sure grub.conf is located in /boot/grub/
and if you could do the following
| Code: | cd /boot/grub
ls -al
|
and post the output that would be great too. |

Can you post fdisk -l and also, where did you install grub...
Finally, did you install grub manually ? |

2 things, your CFLAGS should be
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe"
I see your CHOST="i486-pc-linux-gnu" > this can cause problems latter with a few programs, Seti-Boinc is one where they check CHOST to determine your processor type and if it isnt i686 it wont install and/or run. If I was you I would wipe what youve done so far and get a i686 stage3.

Yes I would. You dont have to repartition,you can just wipe them. If you used the hda1>boot hda2>swap hda3>/ you could just "mke2fs -j /dev/hda3" ,copy your i686-stage3 and untar it.Now start your install from there. It will be easier the second time as somethings will start to make sense.
