Grub Error After Installing Gentoo
I've always been pampered by RedHat because it took care of grub. Now I'm having issues.
This is basically what I did: I emerged grub and ran the grub command. I then did: grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) grub> quit I then edited /boot/grub/grub.conf so it looked like this: default 0 timeout 20 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=Gentoo root (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r9 root=/dev/hda3 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r9 When I reboot the machine it goes past Grub stage 1.5 and haults saying: Grub Error 2 It doesn't give any error messages other then Error 2. I did a google search for what exactly Error 2 means and their seems to be a lot of different things it could be. The boot partition is on /dev/hda1 by the way. Any idea what the problem is here? |
Hmmm, I do see something strange. Your root is /dev/hda3 and your boot is /dev/hda1. That's fine, I have an similer setup. But Shoulden't grub.conf look like :
Code:
default 0 |
No that doesn't work either.

Leave out the splash images entery and see what happens.
