 Posted: Sat Jul 27, 2002 6:14 am Post subject: problem with grub... |
 |
|
i just finished installing gentoo, and rebooted my pc to see if everything would load fine...
here's what i got in GRUB when trying to load the 'gentoo' part i added, as the installation instructions taught me:
Booting 'gentoo'
root(hd1,1)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdb3
Error 15: file not found
since i was getting that error, i decided to try all possibilities on that root(hd1,1) line, hence tried: (hd1,0) (hd1,1) (hd1,2) (the only 3 available)
still got the error
here is my partition table, which might help see if i did something wrong hehe(im not really good aroung grub)
/ : /dev/hdb3
/boot : /dev/hdb2
swap: /dev/hdb5
(the win2k section that i made, however, does work...otherwise i wouldnt be here typing this msg:p
anyone know how i could attempt to fix this? |

the second one is 13gbs, which i use for linux

This is quite possible. Make sure that you have your boot partition mounted properly before you copy your bzImage file to it. If you are still booting into a linux environment from the gentoo iso so you can build your kernel, you'll want to make sure that that you have mounted both the root filesystem at /mnt/gentoo and the boot partition at /mnt/gentoo/boot. I'm sure it's in the Desktop guide, but it's easy to forget about if you are going back in and building your kernel after you make sure that you didn't just blow away your Dad/Sister's windows stuff.

Yes, you should be able to just recompile your kernel - everything else should be fine. See delta407's repair thread if you need to.

i get the same error when trying to boot with grub.
got a gentoo-XP dualboot, when i try booting gentoo with grub, it replies
with the following:
| Code: |
booting 'Gentoo Linux'
root (hd0,1)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda6
Error 15: File not found
Press any key to continue...
|
when doing so, I return to the grub menu, when i try booting XP
it begins booting, the first XP-screen is visible, then some message (sorry,
can't read it, it's going by too fast) occurs, then a bluescreen comes in:
| Code: |
STOP: c000021a {schwerer Systemfehler}
Der Systemprozess Session Manager Initialization wurde unerwartet beendet.
Status 0xc000003a (0x00000000 0x00000000).
Das System wurde heruntergefahren.
|
(system error, the system process session manager initialization has been
shut down, the system has been downed)
the partition table:
WinXP /dev/hda1
/boot /dev/hda2
IBM (recovery partition for windows) /dev/hda3
extended partition: /dev/hda4
swap /dev/hda5
/root /dev/hda6
/home /dev/hda7
/var /dev/hda8
/tmp /dev/hda9
all partitions except winXP (NTFS), IBM (FAT32) and swap (Linux swap) are of type ext3.
i reinstalled gentoo (and definitely don't want to repeat this...), but the error remains the same.
i set the menu.lst up as follows:
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda6
title=Windows XP
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
|
btw: grub oughta be in the MBR.
i mounted all needed partitions properly.
i'd appreciate any help.
thank you very much in advance.
