I re-checked my kernel configuration and my CPU type is K6/K6-2/K6-3, I tried booting with noapic noacpi noapm settings but my problem remains... I have ext3 partitions and I compiled the kernel with bult-in support for ext2 and ext3, maybe I have problems with file system??

hmm i've got 0.94-r1 installed and it stills drops me to the grub commandline, symlink menu.lst -> grub.conf also there, i can boot the kernel by using the kernel command and than boot or selecting the config file by hand. kernel name is also correct
grub config
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 15
title=Gentoo Linux-2.6.7-hardened-r8-p1
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.7-hardened-r8-p1 root=/dev/hdc3

hdb1 ext2 /boot
hdb2 swap none
hdb3 ext3 /
on hda is a windows system
some important facts from grub.conf:
root (hd1,0)
kernel (hd1,0)/kernel-2.4.27 root=/dev/hda3
what do i wrong? i set the link to the menu.lst, used the CFLAGS="" emerge grub, wrote in a file an older versionnumber (don't exactly remember)
befor i forgt. i installed it so:

Having major headaches trying to figure out my GRUB setup after installing my sata drive. Once the sata drive is up and running, I'll be pulling out the PATA drive.
Right now, I'm having to boot to GRUB on the PATA drive. I then boot the Gentoo install on the SATA drive by modifying the entry in GRUB to point to the SATA drive.
I'm running the Gentoo copy on the SATA drive right now and am getting an weird error when trying to setup GRUB.
| Code: | # grub-install /dev/sda
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc does not have any corresponding BIOS drive |
and
| Code: | # grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
The file /boot/grub/stage2 not read correctly |
This seems to directly correspond with the error I get when trying to boot the box from the SATA drive:
system stops and says: GRUB HARD DISK ERROR.
The Grub error page says about this error:
| Code: | Hard Disk Error
The stage2 or stage1.5 is being read from a hard disk, and the attempt to determine the size and geometry of the hard disk failed.
|
So this also seems to be saying there's a problem with stage2.
The SATA drive is running on sda....fstab is setup this way and everything is working with it.
Should I be trying to setup GRUB in in the MBR using something else?
I'm also unclear as to how things will need to be modified ANYWHERE once I pull the PATA drive...ie, do all the (hd1,0) references need to be changed to (hd0,0)?[/code][/code]
[EDIT]
Booted up with a Reiser4 LiveCD and did a GRUB install from there. Worked this time like it should have all along.

I have problem installing GRUB into the MBR. I haev started from a AMD64 stage3. I have a Maxtor SATA drive(one HD) on a Promise SATA RAID onboard controlled setted in IDE mode.
Here the partitions:
| Code: |
/dev/sda1 ntfs WINDOWSXP
/dev/sda3 fat32 DONNEES
/dev/sda4 swap swap
/dev/sda5 ext3 /
/dev/sda6 ext3 /mnt/gentoo32
/dev/sda7 ext3 /home
|
I have done this in the grub shell:
| Code: |
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd)
|
But GRUB says Error 17: Cannot mount partition of type 0x7
Here my grub.conf
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,4)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.8
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.8-gentoo root=/dev/sda5 vga=795
title=Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
|
Yes I have compiled FAT32 and NTFS hard-coded into my kernel. |

grub can't write to NTFS partitions. In the grub shell, do
| Code: |
root (hd0,4)
setup (hd0)

Alright after skimming these last 11 pages (because to be honest GRUB has ruined my patience level for the day) I must ask for help.
This is the second time I've installed Gentoo. the first time was fine until my dad erased the HD 
So now I have to do it again. GRUB problem I get Error 15 like many other people but am not getting the right fix i think.
Heres my grub.conf:
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 3
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Gentoo Linux 2.6.8-r3
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.8-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/hda3
|
Heres my fstab:
| Code: |
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda3 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto 0 0
/dev/dvd0 /mnt/dvd auto noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
|
Heres my ls boot:
| Code: | | System.map-2.6.8-gentoo-r3 config-2.6.8-gentoo-r3 kernel-2.6.8-gentoo-r3 |
Heres my ls /boot:
| Code: | | boot grub lost+found |
Heres my ls -l /boot:
| Code: | | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 oct 3 22:06 /boot -> mnt/livecd/boot |
I'll admit- I'm a new linux user, only about 5 or 6 months. I've seen people discussing something about a symbolic link but I'm not sure about it... maybe thats what i need? if so id appreciate the EXACT commands from start-up with the livecd to finishing and rebooting jsut so i dont fuddle them up 
Well, I'd really appreciate the help. i cant remeber what i did last time to make it work haha... oh well. thanks guys! |

I was getting the grub prompt on boot as well. Checked the hint in the original post about the symlink form menu.lst to grub.conf and it was ok, but still no grub menu.
Followed this hint and it works now.

Dear Moderator
I use linuxquestions.org and have made a modest howto at that site.
I boast you may wish to read my use of the pause command to boot llarge kernels.....I use 3 floppies .I have created a link to your great list of errors to save my selfish time.
Your link is under the heading of ERRORS....
If you object to this link in any way please post here and I will remove it. Give me a few days to do so as I am on dial up and have to work as well.
If you are flattered or have no misgivings about my link can you, when it is convenient to do so, post a reply saying its OK please.

I think it might be because you've got a space between the (hd0,0) and the kernel name on your kernel line. Try changing it to this instead:
| Code: | | kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.4.20/bzImage root=/dev/hda3 |

|

hey everyone. I've read this entire thread and I can't seem to find an answer to my own error 15 problem.
I'll try to explain what I've done so far.
when I type "ls /boot"
command line responds
boot grub initrd-2.6.8-gentoo-r8 kernel-2.6.8-gentoo-r8 lost+found
here is my 'genkernel-based' grub.conf file
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,3)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.8-r8
root (hd0,3)
kernel /kernel-2.6.8-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/ram0 vga=795 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda4
initrd /initrd-2.6.8-gentoo-r8
title=Windows XP
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
I copied the name of the kernel correctly.
Grub will boot into windows...
Here is my partition information, in case perhaps I've done something wrong on that end of things
Device.....Boot.....Start.......End..........Blocks...........Id.. ..System
/dev/hda1...*.........1............3954........31760473+.......7.....HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2.............3955.......3961.........56227+..........83.. .Linux
/dev/hda3.............3962.......4032.........570307+........5.... .Extended
/dev/hda4.............4033.......7296.........26218080.......83.. .Linux
/dev/hda5.............3962.......4032.........570276..........82. ..Linux swap
Grub's fuzzy text boot screen will be giving me nightmares tonight.
Thanks to anyone who would help me...[/b] |

Is your /boot partition hda2? If so, that will be (hd0,1) for grub.

Ok.. I didn't see a solution to this one.. but I may have missed it..
My box is a Twin PII-450, with a DPT Raid card.
I have compiled EXT3 and EXT2 into the kernel.. .I have compiled
adaptec dpt_i2o into the kernel. as well as scsi disk support.
When I boot I get
VFS: cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown-block (0,0) please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block
here's my grub config.
timeout 5
default 0
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Kernel 2.6.8-rc8
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.8-r8 root=/dev/sda3
my fstab.
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext3 noatime 0 0
/dev/sda4 /var ext3 noatime 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0

/dev/sda4 795 1106 2506140 83 Linux
IF I try hitting e at the grub menu and going to the kernel line and e again.
and I try to go to root=/dev.... and hit tab.. it gives me and
ERROR 11:Unrecconized Device String.
I've tried reinstalling twice, tried almost everything I can think of.. Can anyone shed some light on this..
Thanks for your replies.

@tuxman: you're missing something in your kernel config regarding SCSI/SATA.

Actually I fixed it...
All I had to do was add noapic at the end of the kernel line in grub.
after close inspection what was happening was the driver was loading but the drives weren't comming up till much later.. wasn't a problem with the live cd becuase it didnt' need them but off the kernel on the drive it would
panic becuase it couldn't see the /dev/sda3 becuase it wasn't actually there yet..
add the noapic and everything works like a charm.. thanks to all that helped out.. |

Since /livecd is listed in there, I don't think that is right.

|
|
I have an x86_64 system (Athlon 3000+, Gigabyte K8NSPro MB, 160G WD harddisk on primary IDE).
I tried installing with 2004.2, but /dev/hda was not detected there.
I am using the 2004.1 livecd, and downloading stages off the net. I am perfectlyable to reach the reboot point this way (i.e. after installing Grub),
however whatever I do it stops with error 21
my fstab is a standard one with 128MB /dev/hda1 as ext2, 768MB /dev/hda2 as swap, and everything else (i.e. ~159G) in /dev/hda3 as / (ext3)
Thanks in advance! |

Error 21 being: Disk does not exist? Can you post your grub.conf?
