grub help
I've installed gentoo, but I can't get grub to actually boot the system. This is my partition table:
hda1 NTFS winxp install hda2 FAT32 shared and win apps hda3 ext3 / hda4 extended hda5 swap linux swap hda6 ext3 /var hda7 ext3 /usr hda8 ext3 /home so I ran grub and at the grub prompt I ran these commands: root (hd0,2) setup (hd0) quit and edited /boot/grub/menu.lst so that it reads as so: default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=My example Gentoo Linux root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3 # Below needed only for people who dual-boot title=Windows NT Workstation root (hd0,0) chainloader +1 When I boot the computer it says: GRUB Loading stage1.5. GRUB loading, please wait... and it just sits there. The way the install file reads for Gentoo hda1 should be mounted as /boot, bu since I don't have my system setup that way I figured I could just do it my way, but evidently I was wrong. I have also tried this with hda1 and hda3 marked as bootable. |
The only thing I see that is wrong is this line:
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz Remove the (hd0,0) from the line. When you run ' setup (hd0) ', does it print out anything? Like ' install .....' |
