Code: | Grub loading, please wait...
Error 2 |
That's what I got when I tried to boot my new Gentoo machine.
I was getting an error while installing, but Grub reported no install errors.
Any suggestions? |

I'm having a problem displaying the grub splash screen. All I get is a bunch of coloured blocks all over the place. I checked the image and its there. I can open it with an image viewer, and grub loads fine with the text meny if I comment out the splashimage line.
I'm on the latest grub:
* sys-boot/grub
Latest version available: 0.97
Latest version installed: 0.97
Size of downloaded files: 1,027 kB
Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/
Description: GNU GRUB boot loader
License: GPL-2
Any suggetions? Thanks. |

Ok, I am having a bit of trouble booting into both gentoo and windows. grub seems to be installed fine though. when booting into gentoo, gentoo will start loading but will hang up with this error:
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda4" or unknown block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernal panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)
And WindowsXP just returns a "cannot find ntldr" error.
I am using a PATA harddrive as hda with a Fat32 partition on partition 1, and windows on partition 2. Then, I have a SATA hdd as sda with a ntfs partition on partition 1, "/boot" on partition 2, "swap" on partition 3, and "/" on partition 4.
my fstab:
Code: |
/dev/sda2 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda4 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto 0 0

Hi.
Have you tried reinstalling GRUB to your MBR or boot partition? Have you tried using another splash image? _________________ Jorge.

Hi.
The following message leads me to believe that you forgot to compile in the kernel <*> and not as a module <M> the driver for your SATA controller.
Code: | VFS: Cannot open root device "sda4" or unknown block(0,0) |
From your Gentoo entry in grub.conf, I believe that your Windows entry should look like this
Code: | title=Windows XP
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd0,1)

This one took some time to catch, but have you tried replacing

with the following?

By the way, your comment in the following line isn't a typo, right? If that is a typo, you're not passing the kernel the values for the framebuffer.

Well, when i boot linux, i want the server to boot right into the OS.. instead, everytime i boot, it makes me type "kernel /boot/kernel-gen(then i press tab to auto-fill)" then press enter, then type boot and press enter.. its really troublesome beacuse i want to SSH in and dont want to have a keyboard/monitor hooked up to this computer at all.... is there anywayt o change this so it automatically just starts the OS and knows where the kernel is and automatically boots? (sorry if its a REALLY noob question >.< my first time using linux >.<) |

Hi.
Make sure that your /boot/grub/grub.conf file is correct. Also make sure that you have a symlink from /boot/grub/menu.lst to /boot/grub/grub.conf.
Code: | atl64 atlantis # ls -l /boot/grub/menu.lst
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2005-04-24 23:14 /boot/grub/menu.lst -> grub.conf
atl64 atlantis # |

That's the one! Thanks very much. Can't say I really understand GRUB's theory on bracket placement! Cheers. (and no, the comment is deliberate). |

well I know for a fact that I have my sata drivers in the kernel and that my fstab is correct, so what could be causing this error?
Code: |
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown-block(8,3)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,3)

whats going on here?

ok i am a noob, just wanted to get that out there first.
alright so i have a dual boot box of windows and gentoo (fresh install after deleteing my mandriva installation).
now i partitioned my drives with norton patition magic because fdisk was annoying me a lot, so i got this for my partitions:
first dell utility (my computer is a dell) aka hda1 aka (hd0,0)
then c: drive (with windows xp) aka hda2 aka (hd0,1)
then and extended partition, aka hda4 aka (hd0,3)
-with a logical partition inside it with gentoo linux installed aka hda5 aka (hd0,4)
i dont think there is a forth partition aka hda3. but i am starting to get confused because it is after midnight and i have been working on gentoo for like 4.5 hours today.
now when i load my computer grub tells me that it cant find the partition for gentoo but it can find the one for windows. so i end up falling back to windows...
in the config file should it be (hd0,3) for the extended partition or (hd0,4) for the logical one that the root partition is located in?
what is wrong? any suggestions? should i use lilo instead?
by the way i am not able to get into my gentoo installation because i cant use the bootloader. also i dont know hwo to get back into my system from the live cd without reinstalling everything. how do i do that?
k now i am going to sleep. |

I'm getting the error Code: | Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes

when trying to get my software RAID harddisks to work as mentioned in the gentoo wiki http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Gentoo_Install_on_Software_RAID
My partitions are as follows:
Code: | hdb1 = boot (ext2fs)
hdb2 = swap (swap)

hde3 = root (reiserfs)

the swap partitions are not raided
|
The first step: Code: |

went successfully, but when I did the second step:
Code: |

|
|
Hello,
I successfully installed gentoo 64-bit on partition /dev/hda16.
Then I emerged grub and installed grub into the MBR.
My grub.conf / menu.lst looks like (sorry, I am just sitting on another PC):
----------------------
default 0
timeout 5
#splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Gentoo 64
root (hd0,15)
kernel /kernel-<my_64-bit_kernel> root=/dev/hda16 ro vga=794
-------------------------------
Then I tried to boot, but grub hangs after displaying "root (hd0,15)". No error message, no boot.
It seems that the 64-bit-grub cannot boot /dev/hda15 or above as I encounter the same problem trying to boot another distro from /dev/hda15. Booting /dev/hda14 works.
Is there a limitation for partition numbers for the 64-bit-grub? If yes, is there a chance to boot my freshly installed gentoo from /dev/hda16 - or what else can I do except moving the installed system to another partition?
Thanks for assistance,
Dieter _________________ Wissen ist Macht. Ich weiß nix. Macht nix. |

Hi.
Have you tried installing GRUB with the following?
Code: | # grub
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> exit
# |
Did you bind /dev to your new system before chrooting?
Code: | # mount --bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
# chroot ... |
What does GRUB call /dev/hde? _________________ Jorge.

Grub error 17. does not get to the menu.
just switched motherboards and hda is now hdc. fixed this in grub.conf and reinstalled grub on the MBR.
what gives? also, when will there be a "boot of THIS drive option?" _________________ HW problems. It's a VIA thing. |

After much tearing-hair-out I discovered that this error (Error 16 : Inconsistent filesystem structure) was caused by trying to load an initrd that didn't fit below the memory hole; disabling memory hole in the bios got everything working. |

Hda6 - /boot
Hda8 - /
Hda9 - /home
I get no screen for grub until i arrow down and select gentoo and press enter, then it comes up with a very fuzzy screen with errors, either 17 or 22 depending on which (hd0,7) i choose, i have tried 6,7,8,9,10 and they didnt work. for my splash screen i have tried video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,1024x768-32@85, i have tried vga=0x318 video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap, im running out of ideas. I can boot into windows by pressenting enter when the blank screen appears, but i cannot get into gentoo. Can someone please help.

Hi.
You're confusing / with /boot. Your grub.conf file should look like this:
Code: | splashimage=(hd0,5)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.12-rc6
root (hd0,5)
kernel /kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-rc6 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda8 udev
initrd /initrd-2.6.12-gentoo-rc6 |

Thank you for your quick reply, my bootscreen appears now although i have my major problem of entering gentoo still.
I get error 15, i followed the directions listed but i receive this error:
Code: | mount /dev/hda6 /boot
cd /boot
ls cd /usr/src/linux
ls: cd: no such file or directory |

I don't know what you're trying to do, but you either want
Code: | # cd /usr/src/linux |
or
Code: | # ls /usr/src/linux |
I wasn't able to understand what error you got when trying to boot. _________________ Jorge.
