 Posted: Fri Aug 15, 2003 11:14 am Post subject: GRUB reinstalling |
 |
|
lo 
i've just upgraded my motherboard & proccessor on my gentoo box,
but when i'm trying to boot, i'm getting a screen full of "GRUB GRUB"
insted of the grub shell
i had to boot trough installation cd,
and now, when i'm trying to
#grub-install /dev/hdb1
(which i mounted as boot, i already did the chroot to get into my own files,
and i'd mounted all drives)
i'm getting the following
df: '/proc/bus/usb' : No such file or directory
Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
my question is, is there any way to reinstall GRUB?
or how may i format /dev/hdb1? (i backed-up my bzImages)
and sould i recompile kernel, and if i do, do i need to use "make clean"
or i can use the old modules?
10x to all helpers

Did you mount proc before you entered the chroot?

You probably won't need to re-emerge grub. Just reconfigure it. You'll probably need to compile a new kernel for your new mothboard/processor features. You will need to compile new modules with that kernel. Just configure the kernel you want to use (Wich you will have symlinked to /usr/src/linux) and do | Code: | | make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install |

i have no configure for my GRUB except:
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 10
title=BoX
|
i'm choosing my kernel while booting, using the GRUB shell
| Code: |
grub> kernel /bzImage
grub> boot
|
but i think the problem is not in the kernel (yet) coz it not yet loaded.
when i'm booting from HD, i get my screen filled with "GRUB "
and it all gets stuck.
i tried to resetup grub:
| Code: |
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
|
it says that grub has been installed, but it's useless...i get the same
annoying "GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB" screen.
how can i format hdb1, and deleting it's MBR?
so i could really get a fresh setup of grub...
10x,
