problem wit GRUB..post 6.0 install
 
I have finished the complete installation of LFS 6.0,
but when the system boots I see this

Loading e2fs_stage1_5....
Loading grub please wait....

Then it takes me to the grub screen,
I can boot the kernel from there with

kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.8.1
boot

and everything works fine.

I have removed the e2fs_stage1_5 as per a suggestion on a previous thread but it didn't help either

I have searched through the other forums here on linux questions and can't really find anything related to this problem.

I forgot to mention I used the bootable LFS cd as the host to install 6.0

Thanks.

What exactly is the problem?

Is it just loading slow or something?

JusCrzn 12-19-2004 01:17 PM

No it's not that it is loading slow...grub won't boot the kernel I have to do it manually,
it won't autoload...it's almost like it can't find the "menu.1st file"
I have tried many different things from other threads here on linux questions,
but none of the methods seem to work so I posted here on the LFS because
I thought it might be a LFS issue...some thing I might have done wrong along the way,
still not sure though.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Can you post a copy of your menu.lst file? Maybe we can find the problem there.

JusCrzn 12-22-2004 10:17 PM

The menu.1st is...

default 0

timeout 30

color green/black light-green/black

title LFS 6.0
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.8.1 root=/dev/hda1

I used the LFS 6.0 boot cd to install LFS

Not to get on another subject(problem) it also doesn't bring up eth0 either..doesen't exist,
I have checked and rechecked the files for both grub and network...
recompiled grub,the kernel and bootscipts
is it possible I have done somthing wrong on the install,
If so is it possible to correct from this point without having to start all over again.

Thanks

Try rename menu.1st to menu.lst
