grub help
I've installed gentoo, but I can't get grub to actually boot the system. This is my partition table:
hda1 NTFS winxp install
hda2 FAT32 shared and win apps
hda3 ext3 /
hda4 extended
hda5 swap linux swap
hda6 ext3 /var
hda7 ext3 /usr
hda8 ext3 /home
so I ran grub and at the grub prompt I ran these commands:
root (hd0,2)
setup (hd0)
quit
and edited /boot/grub/menu.lst so that it reads as so:
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=My example Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3
# Below needed only for people who dual-boot
title=Windows NT Workstation
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
When I boot the computer it says:
GRUB Loading stage1.5.
GRUB loading, please wait...
and it just sits there. The way the install file reads for Gentoo hda1 should be mounted as /boot, bu since I don't have my system setup that way I figured I could just do it my way, but evidently I was wrong.
I have also tried this with hda1 and hda3 marked as bootable.
