grub woes
well i finally got agp gart and dri working in mandrake10. then i figured it would be a great time to install windows, and whaddaya know, it wiped the mbr.
i didnt make a rescue disk, cuz rescue disks are for pussies. and/or smart people. so i stuck in the 10 install cd, told it to reinstall the bootloader. it tried to fix lilo, which wouldve been fine, but i got error 2 and quit. lovely. so i went to rescue and did grub-install --root-directory=/dev/hd0 it didnt work so i tried hda,b,1,etc etc. honestly i dont remember the partitions. i carved up the disks last night and im not sure what partition holds what. i also tried "grub" and then grub>install but i couldnt get anywhere with that either. im really not in the mood to reinstall after making a kernel that finally work well with my radeon. i dont care what bootloader i use, as long as its not the windoze one. i just need to get back into linux. thanks |
Assuming you only have one HD, to have a clue about your partition settings do
fdisk /dev/hda then enter 'p' then quit to install grub run grub grub> root (hd0,x) grub> setup (hd0) grub> quit Replace x by the number of you root partition. You also need /boot/grub/grub.conf set to your configuration. Se if you have a grub.conf.example and try to edit it for your configuration. This is mine: Code:
# Boot automatically after 30 secs. |
Gentoo w00ta!
This might even help to clear up Covel's reply: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handboo...le&full=1#grub |
