Edited grub to the correct order. Here's ls -l /mnt/gentoo/boot:

Try this:
| Code: | # This is a sample grub.conf for use with Genkernel, per the Gentoo handbook
# http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10#doc_cha$
# If you are not using Genkernel and you need help creating this file, you
# should consult the handbook. Alternatively, consult the grub.conf.sample that
# is included with the Grub documentation.
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Gentoo Linux 2.6.38-r3
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/2.6.38-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/sda3
title Gentoo Linux 2.6.34-r12
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.34-gentoo-r12 root=/dev/sda3
title Gentoo Linux 2.6.34-r12
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.34-gentoo-r12 root=/dev/sda3
title Gentoo Linux 2.6.34-r12 (rescue)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.34-gentoo-r12 root=/dev/sda3 init=/bin/bb |
Notice there's no kernel- in front of the first 2 file names:
| Quote: | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3497328 Apr 11 11:39 2.6.34-gentoo-r12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4140976 Apr 30 15:17 2.6.38-gentoo-r3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4205776 Nov 11 12:06 kernel-2.6.34-gentoo-r1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3627376 Nov 19 14:18 kernel-2.6.34-gentoo-r12 |
Also, the bottom 3 kernels in that grub.conf are all the same, I believe one should have the kernel- removed from the front, and one should be -r1 instead of -r12?
Either that, or you want to delete the middle 2 boot options, and
| Code: | rm /boot/2.6.34-gentoo-r12
rm /boot/kernel-2.6.34-gentoo-r1 |
I'd probably do the latter!

I think I have grub set to what you show, but hadn't noticed the missing "kernel." Wonder what that means?
I'm Ok with r-1; I've never seen it before, maybe a typo from somewhere (where then? Me?), but it isn't hurting anything as far as I can tell. But I'm going to hold off on removing 2.6.38-r3- that's the one I want to keep!

It's just the file it's been named as, it doesn't mean anything as long as you edit grub to have the same name. Honestly, your best bet is probably to have this as your grub.conf:
| Code: | default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Gentoo Linux 2.6.38-r3
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/2.6.38-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/sda3
title Gentoo Linux 2.6.34-r12 (rescue)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.34-gentoo-r12 root=/dev/sda3 init=/bin/bb |
Just copy & paste it. Then rm the 2 files I mentioned in my last post. |

Ok I'll try that.
Edit: After rebooting, still the same, error 15 in grub. Looks to me like the problem is with the kernel, or it's location. |

Can you repost your
| Code: | | /mnt/gentoo/boot/grub/grub.conf |
and
| Code: | | ls -l /mnt/gentoo/boot |
From within you live CD, just to double check please. |

| Actually, right now I'm going back and re-running the instructions from DONAHUE's post on Sat April30 @1:12 pm- should be the fifth entry in this thread. I'll skip the recompile of the kernel, since it was OK, but I want to see if I missed anything. All it does is re-install sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.38-r3, why, I don't know. Says everything is up to date. |

| With the kernel sources already emerged, and you having a working kernel, those instructions should no longer be needed. The original file not found problem looked like it was because of your naming convention, which should have been fixed by the grub.conf posted above - I just wanted to double-check for any errors. |

I'm stopping at the point that I copy the image to boot. I think when I did this before that I used the info from the previous "make && make modules" command, which shows 2.6.38-gentoo-r3.
I just copied the kernel to /boot/bzImage, but this time I used linux-2.6.38-gentoo-r3. Here's the pastebin, and anyone with any input is welcome to set me straight as to which method will get grub to see the kernel.
http://pastebin.com/T5aBtLWx
I'll stop here and wait for some clarity before doing anything else.
Edit; Tried to get ls -l /mnt/gentoo/boot and it shows no such file. I know that the first thing I did was run "mkdir /mnt/gentoo" so I don't know why it doesn't work. |

| Code: | title Gentoo Linux 2.6.38-r3
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/linux-2.6.38-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/sda3 |
Insert that as the top option in
| Code: | | /boot/grub/grub.conf |
and you should be good to go. Just make sure it's entered exactly as above.
EDIT >> Because you're chrooted into your installation, it's /boot Before you chroot, it's /mnt/gento/boot  |

Well, progress.....it boots....right into a kernel panic! Looks like the grub edit worked, though.
Think I'll try a reboot and see if it can fix anything itself. Anyone want to put odds on that happening?
Edit: Nope, didn't think that would work. Shows "Please append a correct "root=" boot option" Then it shows "some stuff," and sr0. No idea what it wants.
Before that, "Root-NFS: No NFS server address" also ties to find NFS in floppy, and it ain't there either.

Can you post the output from the kernel panic? A photo from your phone or, if need be, write it out then type it up?
What filesystem are you using for /dev/sda3 (ext3/reiserfs/brtfs etc)?
Did you compile support for the fs into the kernel? I can talk you through checking if you're not sure, just tell me which you used.

It woks up until "autorun done" Then it can't find the NFS and comes to a screeching halt. this happens pretty quickly after booting, seems like it's very early in the loading process.
"Root-NFS: no NFS server addresss
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown block(2,0)
I went with what I'd call "standard" se3ttings for the file system, nothing fancy. ext3 as far as I remember. |

Ok, it looks like you're missing some kernel options. Can you reboot with your livecd, and post the output of
Then do
| Code: | mkdir /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo |
and upload the contents of
| Code: | | /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config |
and the ouput of
I doubt it's your fs drivers tbh, probably sata/scsi or somthing similar you've missed.
EDIT >>> I'm off driving back to work, I'll probably be back in a little under 2 hours if you're not sorted by then. |

What would help is a way to copy a file in bash! I've "nano'd" my way into /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config
but it goes forever! The only way I know to paste it is to highlight as much as I can and then copy it and highlight as much of the next section...lather, rinse, repeat....forever!
I thought computers were supposed to be what did the boring, repetitive and error prone processes for us!
Any way to copy this with one mouse click? I'm sure I'll find out...as soon as I finish copying and pasting "War and Peace" at 5 lines per paste! |

from the chroot: | Code: | emerge wgetpaste
wgetpaste /usr/src/linux/.config |
what you are missing are the drivers for your hard drive adapter or you are trying to use deprecated sysfs
| Code: | emerge pciutils
wgetpaste lspci -k |
post url's
someone will tell you what you need
dot not comma my typo sorry

For whatever reason, the wgetpastes didn't work.
ubuntu / # wgetpaste /usr/src/linux/,config
/usr/bin/wgetpaste: /usr/src/linux/,config No such file found.
I did mkdir /mnt/gentoo when I started this, and mounted everything using:
sudo su --
mkdir /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
swapon /dev/sda2
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash |

First glaring error I see with your kernel .config is:
| Code: | | # CONFIG_SATA_NV is not set |
That needs to be set in for your chipset.
paste the out put of lscpi -n at http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/
hit Check, that will tell you all the drivers you must have enabled in your kernel .config
after running make menuconfig search for the locations of specific sections of the menu for a specific driver by using:
"/" without quotes then type in the name of a driver for example:
i2c-nforce2 |
