I recently installed Gentoo, a long and tedious process
and now it won't boot. I keep on getting Error 15
Can anyone explain how the grub.conf works? none of the files there can be found. Are the paths in grub.conf relative to the partition that accommodates grub or to the root directory?
If you used genkernel, yes.
Best place for q's like this is probably forums.gentoo.org - but in the meantime, let's see /boot/grub/grub.conf.
In need, boot the CD and do the mounts as per the handbook - then the filename will be /mnt/boot/grub/grub.conf.
If you want to go the whole way, you can chroot back in and run from the HD system.
