Gentoo grub error???
 
I installed gentoo using the livecd and I follow the Gentoo quick install guide. When I start gentoo, grub is popping up with this grub>. From the guide this is used to install and configure grub.
Whats the problem??

What are the contents of /boot/grub/grub.conf ?

You should probably try the installation handbook not the quick install guide (link is for x86 NOT amd64).

nesrail,

The quick install guide is an abbreviated version of the handbook and is not intended for users doing their first few installs.

As you get the grub> prompt, grub cannot find its grub.conf file.
That may mean that the menu.lst -> grub.conf symbolic link is missing.
One of the old (now depreciated) liveCDs omitted that symlink, resulting in an install that won't boot.

The first thing that you need to do, is to chroot your box and make sure that your /boot is mounted is you have a separate one.

You should post this actually :

Code:

# fdisk -l
# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
