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.

What happens if you try to boot with the IDE harddrive unplugged ?

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