 |
|
I finished my installation, however, when I boot I get the following message:
Booting 'Gentoo Linux 2.6.9-r1'
root (hda0,5)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /kernel-2.4.9-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/hda8
Error 15: File not found
My kernel is 2.6.9-gentoo-r1 and root=/dev/hda8, how can I fix this error.
I imagine I do this from the command line? |

Boot up on the live CD, mount the boot partition, edit the menu.lst file, save, reboot. That is the easiest for me when I have grub troubles.

You just need to rename your kernel from /kernel-2.4.9-gentoo-r1 to /kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r1. Use the LiveCD like ba747heavy suggested.

One problem: your root is certainly not but probably That seems to be a typo. Refer to the handbook for an explanation, and just boot to livecd to fix. Not a big problem at all.
Best of luck.

LOOL
In Grub push E key (Edit)
Goto line with /kernel...
push E key again (Edit that line)
Modify it (change with valid kernel name)
Push Enter (validate change)
Push B (booting grub with your new settings)
Note: you will after you have boot need to modify your grub.conf anyway
This method change on-the-fly grub boot parameters, it's not permanent, but you will not have to grab a floppy or live-cd just to modify that ! |
