 Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2003 3:21 am Post subject: GRUB problem... |
 |
|
So ... I can boot Windows fine but Gentoo is a no-go.
Right now my setup is:
/dev/hda5 = Boot
/dev/hda6 = Swap
/dev/hda7 = Root
I've tried all sorts of combinations in the grug.conf file ... even tried booting from the GRUB command line:
| Code: | grub> root (hd0,4) \\works fine
grub> /ker<tab> \\gives me "File Not Found" as does...
grub> /ini<tab> |
The above was suggested in a GRUB thread I found when searching. Worked for the other guy, didn't work for me.
The Gentoo part of my grub.conf file looks something like this:
| Code: | title=Gentoo
root (hd0,4) \\since boot is on /dev/hda5
kernel (hd0,4) /boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r6
initrd (hd0,4) /boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r6
|
Now, I recall mention that there shouldn't be after kernel and initrd since it's not mounted yet. Should I try this? Any other suggestions?
Many thanks in advance...  |

Are you sure you mounted /boot before you installed GRUB and copied your kernel to /boot?
