The hell that is grub2 [Solved]

[KWhat]

So I have been working on getting grub2 to boot for about 7 hours now. Guess what it still doesnt work. I tired to follow the gentoo wiki guide if we can call it that and it did boot the kernel once but I had forgotten the ext4 driver so I had to recompile. Kernel recompiled copeid over to boot, reran grub2-mkconfig and now it boots to a prompt that says "error: invalid magic number." I am out of patience and options at this point. This is worse than trying to install linux in 1999.

If your system has a BIOS, just keep using grub-legacy, if it's got EFI, use rEFInd or elilo.

I had a pretty easy time of it following the quick start guide. Although I do have a pretty straightforward setup.

I think the kernel image somehow got corrupt. make clean && make -j5 and copy the new image back over fixed it.
