 Posted: Fri Nov 14, 2008 8:59 am Post subject: Grub (solved) |
 |
|
I installed Debian because I was busy with school and gentoo was broken and it installed grub and I've always used lilo. It automatically wrote gentoo's entry but it's incorrect and gentoo won't boot.
debian is /deb/hda1 and gentoo is /deb/hda6
Here's what my current entry looks like:
| Code: | title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-4-686
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-686
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-4-686 (single-user mode)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-686
### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
# This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian
# ones.
title Other operating systems:
# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing
# linux installation on /dev/hda9.
title Berry Linux (on /dev/hda9)
root (hd0,8)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz vga=791 quiet
initrd /boot/initrd.gz
savedefault
boot
# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing
# linux installation on /dev/hda9.
Savefault
boot
# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing
# linux installation on /dev/hda9.
title Gentoo (hda6) (on /dev/hda6)
root (hd0,8)
kernel /boot/BzImage
savedefault
boot
|
Can someone please help me sort this out? I haven't been able to use gentoo for a month I finally have it fixed and now I can't boot into it.
Thanks

is the following path correct for your gentoo installation?
| Code: | | kernel /boot/BzImage |

Grub stuff usually fares better in K+H, moving.
Moved from Desktop Environments to Kernel & Hardware.
