 |
|
I have a fileserver running Gentoo x64 (I've also tried x86, with the same grub error).
When I boot, grub is loaded normally, but when I choose the kernel and hit enter, the screen turns black and I get this error:
Grub Error 15: File Not Found
My grub.conf looks like this:
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd5,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Gentoo Linux 2.6.30-r8-2
root (hd5,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.30-gentoo-r5-1 init=/linuxrc root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sdf3 udev vga=791 splash=silent
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.30-gentoo-r5-1
|
If I manually load the kernel etc. by entering the grub commandline:
| Code: |
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.30-gentoo-r5-1 udev vga=791 real_root=/dev/sdf3
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.30-gentoo-r5-1
boot
|
Then the kernel boots fine.
I have a faint idea that this is either related to the initramfs or the BIOS setup of the sata controller.
I have never been able to boot from grub on this motherboard (Asus P5Q, ICH10R).
The menu.lst symbolic link exists...
Any ideas?

I created a grub boot floppy according to the instructions I've found here. Understand that the setup (fd0) command invokes the grub-install command to look for menu.1st as the config file instead of grub.conf, and done practically everything else I can think of to solve this problem, and I'm stumped. When setup (fd0) completes, it tells me that stage 1 and stage 2 were written properly and the config file is expected to be found in /boot/grub/menu.1st, and that's exactly where it is.
When I boot from the floppy, instead of seeing the grub splash and the boot option, I get dumped back to the grub prompt after stage 2 has loaded. Somehow, the menu.1st file is not being found by grub.
At the grub prompt, if I enter "configfile /boot/grub/menu.1st", everything boots up perfectly.
Any suggestions? |
