 |
|
I did a fresh install of Gentoo on my new Sata disk. Unfortunately grub gives me:
| Code: | | Error: 15 File not found |
I checked everything but I couldn't find a mistake. Who can help me?
# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
| Code: | default 0
timeout 5
#splashimage=(hd1,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.21-r4
root (hd1,1)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.21-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/sda2 |
Update
Solved! I changed hd1,1 to hd0,0 in grub.conf. Apparently before booting my second hard disk isn't visible causing the hard drive numbering to change.

This makes me wonder; how do I boot WinXP from my second IDE disk?
