Hi all.

I have installed Windows 7 on my new laptop.(It is Lenovo S205)

Then I have installed gentoo on that, all is well.

and I have rebooted laptop, I hope see grub screen.

But I couldn't see grub screen !

It is my laptop's information

- Partition -
/dev/sda1 fat32 (maybe windows EFI loader)
/dev/sda2 system area
/dev/sda3 Windows 7
/dev/sda4 Swap
/dev/sda5 Gentoo root(/)
/dev/sda6 /boot
/dev/sda7 Windows Data Partition

I have commended
# grub-install (hd 0)
# grub-install (hd 0,6)
# grub
grub > find /boot/grub/stage1
(hd 0,5)
grub > root (hd 0,5)
grub > setup (hd 0) --> and setup (hd 0,5)

- grub.conf -
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,5)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Gentoo
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/gentoo-3.2.1-r2 root=/dev/sda5

Those are command that I hited.

Why I can't see grub screen?

Thanks guys.

Your partition information doesn't look right unless you have mislabelled something. You should have an Extended partition in which to create your logical partitions.

Did you copy/paste the above or are those typos? You cannot have a space between the hd and the 0.

So,is the machine working at all ?. That is, do you boot into gentoo ?.
Try commenting out the splashimage.

Let's see the output from (as root) "fdisk -l"

Thanks for reply. That information is true. My laptop is using EFI system and GPT disk. So, I could create many primary partition.
I tried that install grub, but I can't see grub screen.
How information is needed for advice?

Thanks for reply.
No, I can't boot into gentoo.
It is my disk's information.
# parted
(parted) print
Model: ATA ST9500325AS (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 500GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

How chang Flags of /dev/sda1 boot to other?

Are you using Grub1? For EFI/GPT systems you have to use a bootloader that supports EFI, like elilo or Grub2. It all is described in the UEFI page of the Gentoo Linux Wiki.

Wow. Thanks TobiSGD.

If you don't have the options already enabled that the Wiki mentions, then yes.

Sorry, I don't know, I neither use EFI nor elilo.

Edit: But according to the info on the ArchWiki it is possible with the EFI version of Grub2.
