I have 1 disk on which only gentoo will be installed.

I have set drive up as follows

partition 1 primary = boot
partition 2 primary = swap
partition 3 extended
partition 5 logical = /
partition 6 logical =/home

i have set grub as

root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)

menu.lst is entries are

root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda5

when i boot i see splash screen, but when i select my entry it says

error 15 file not found

any ideas where i am going wrong?

What does Grub output for the find command? From the Grub menu, 'find /boot/bzImage'

do you have a grub floppy?...if so have you tried booting using it and telling it the info it needs...basically what you would do is eneter in the info that is in your menu.lst but it doesnt look for the stage1,1.5&2 files since they are on the floppy....so if it loads you should try reinstalling grub to the hard drive using the grub floppy

seems the BzImage was not created when the kernel was compiled. i have look for but cannot find it, i booted install cd rom and ran through mount commands and entered chroot to do this, what is best way to recompile kernel and ensure that BzImage is created and put in right place?

many thanks
