No offense man but did you even read his post?
@Grin:
1. do you have /boot mounted? If not mount it and try again.
2. Is the package sys-boot/Grub failing or is it another package that grub depends on?
3. Are you using any use flags with grub?
4. Are you using sane CFLAGS? (I'd ask you to post your emerge --info, but it doesn't look like that'll be possible)

1.yes /dev/hda5 is mounted to /mnt/gentoo/boot
2.yes (sorry but i cant actually switch and look at the error again, but sys-boot sounds right)
3. ? i dont realy know what you mean, grub issnt even installed, sorry
4.cflags.. in the compiler config ? sorry dont know
...i go step by step through the Gentoo Handbook to install Gentoo, (and the german version, there i understand everything)
edit: and i set a bootflag in fdisk to hda5 |

Sorry about that. Let me be more clear. A use flag is what you set in /etc/make.conf. If you type:do any of the words have +foo and are in red? Also with CFLAGS they are the complier flags in /etc/make.conf under CFLAGS. Can you let me know what you put in that section?

Ok, your CFLAGS are fine. -pv literally means pretend verbose. It basically gives off what you want to emerge and its enabled USE flags and download size. Its a useful command.

I would assume it is. Make sure you put it in packages.provided so portage doesn't think its not there.

You need to paste more than just that. What are the 20 or so previous lines saying?
