 |
|
Hello,
I installed Gentoo following the AMD64 installation using chroot in a Ubuntu-partition. The installation went fine but when trying to boot into Gentoo I get a black screen and one line of text saying:
| Quote: | | INIT: plymouth main process (1069) killed by SEGV signal |
I used grub on the Ubuntu-partition to setup grub: | Code: |
# update-grub
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-23-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-23-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda2
Found Gentoo Base System release 1.12.14 on /dev/sda7

Ubuntu uses a rewritten grub2.
Gentoo expects grub1.

Decide which grub to use. Then pop a live-cd in, install chosen grub, configure, then you will have it.

It looks like it's trying to use the Ubuntu kernel or initramfs, I'd check the Ubuntu grub.cfg. |

Booting is OK now. I reinstalled Grub with SystemRescueCD, following http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-Partitioning-EN-Repairing-a-damaged-Grub (Solution 2: Reinstallation of Grub using chroot). After some experimenting with grub.conf, I'm now able to boot in all my systems.

A lot of work remains to be done: fix network error, install desktop... But I leave that for an other day.
Thanks all for the advice! |
