boot a system rescue cd to a GUI, in the terminal run , post the results here.
Then mount the gentoo partitions | Code: | cat /etc/fstab
cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
mount |
post the results here. Then
| Code: | grub
find /boot/grub/grub.conf |
post result, format should be (hdx,y). Then
substituting actual values returned above, should return name of /boot file system. Then
substituting actual values returned above, setting up the /boot partition's boot record, should return embed successful.
Then if gentoo has it's own disk separate from windows
substituting actual values returned above, setting up the gentoo disk MBR, this will allow you to choose boot disk and thus boot OS in BIOS bypassing safeboot. Then
using a digital camera and a free photo site you can show us your error screens pinpointing your problem |

Donahue,
Thanks for the help.
Screenshot of the problem: http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/5360/imag0053s.jpg
I installed grub on an USB key, copied the kernel there, and managed to boot to my system. Here are the info you requested:

As I have explained in previous post, I originally set up encrypted root in /dev/sda5, and a separate boot partition in /dev/sda2. When problem appears, I copied the root to /dev/sda8, and use /boot on the same /dev/sda8. Windows loader is modified to have an entry to load /dev/sda8.
| Code: |
grub> find /boot/grub/grub.conf

(hd0,7)

Filesystem type is xfs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd0,7)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/xfs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/xfs_stage1_5 (hd0,7)"... failed (this is not fatal)
Running "embed /boot/grub/xfs_stage1_5 (hd0,7)"... failed (this is not fatal)
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0,7) /boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/menu.lst "... succeeded
Done.
grub> root (hd0,1)

I didn't run setup (hd0,1).

does the /boot directory on /dev/sda8 contain the symlink
Give this a try in grub.conf at sda8, or just try it using edit mode on the menu.lst menu when it appears during boot
| Quote: | title Gentoo Linux 2.6.34-r6 (Non-Encrypted)
root (hd0,7)
kernel (hd0,7)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/sda8 |
If that fails try:
title Gentoo Linux 2.6.34-r6 (Non-Encrypted) (Chainloader)
rootnoverify (hd0,7)
chainloader +1
Safeboot may have it's own chainloader statement |

Donhaue,
Yes, there is a "boot -> ." link in (/dev/sda8)/boot/
Tried adding the (hd0,7) in the grub entry, same behavior.
Tried the chainloader, in both the menu.lst in /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda8. Strangely, it failed with error 13.
I don't think Safeboot has a chainloader entry that is easily editable.
----
In any case, my current workaround is to use a boot-USB which contains:
| Code: |
./boot
./boot/grub
./boot/grub/device.map
./boot/grub/stage1
./boot/grub/stage2
./boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5
./boot/grub/fat_stage1_5
./boot/grub/ffs_stage1_5
./boot/grub/iso9660_stage1_5
./boot/grub/jfs_stage1_5
./boot/grub/minix_stage1_5
./boot/grub/reiserfs_stage1_5
./boot/grub/ufs2_stage1_5
./boot/grub/vstafs_stage1_5
./boot/grub/xfs_stage1_5
./boot/grub/default
./boot/grub/menu.lst
./boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
./images

./kernels/Dell/vmlinuz-2.6.35-gentoo-r4
./kernels/Pana
./kernels/Pana/vmlinuz-2.6.34-gentoo-r6
|
and its menu.lst having:
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Boot from Harddisk
rootnoverify (hd1)
makeactive

|
[Pana] is the actual laptop that I have trouble with, while [Dell] is just test laptop I used to test booting from GRUB on USB.
Not an ideal solution, since I need to carry the USB key around in order to boot into Linux (Windows has no problem, since the current Grub installed on /devsda2 can boot windows). But nonetheless, it works (yes, even the encrypted root on /dev/sda5). So, it is a tolerable solution. But I would like to get it solved if possible. |

I was trying to install grub on my pata (possibly ide) hard drive and it won't work. I ran this code.
| Code: |
grub-install --no-floppy /dev/hdb #for some reason when I mount the thing it shows up as hdb instead of sata.

Got an IntelPostville with Win Ultimate 64 (+recovery partition) and a gentoo partition.
I installed everything succesfull except GRUB.
Their comes allways fucking Win bootmgr, so i deletit but now there comes bootmgr is missing...
so the problem has to be by GRUB.
I will post u the needed code

|
|
| Hi. I just finished installing gentoo, following all the instructions in the guide, and everything went fine until the point where I had to reboot. I got GRUB ERROR 15. I think that it means that it couldn't find what it needed to boot. Any ideas on how to fix it? |

If you got only "Error 15"; grub cannot find its Stage2 file.
If you got "Error 15 File not Found"; grub found Stage2 but not the kernel file or (if used) initrd. The kernel or (if used) initrd file is misnamed or misplaced.
| Quote: | Stage 1.5 error:
The general way that the Stage 1.5 handles errors is to print an error number in the form Error num and then halt. Pressing <CTRL>-<ALT>-<DEL> will reboot. |
| Quote: | Stage 2 error:
Error 15 : File not found
This error is returned if the specified file name cannot be found, but everything else (like the disk/partition info) is OK. |
Boot the install cd, mount the gentoo partitions,enter the chroot, nominally: | Code: | mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1" |
then | Code: | grub
find /boot/grub/stage2 |
This should return an answer in the form (hdx,y). Then, replacing x,y with the returned values,This should return the file system of the /boot partition. Then runshould tell that sectors were embedded. then note the name of the kernel (and initrd) you copied to /boot and compare to the name(s) in /etc/grub/grub.conf, must match letter for letter and case. Verify /boot contains symlink " boot -> . "

PW,
Nope none of those are the kernel
boot is actually a symlink to . It should appear in cyan.
grub is the grub directory
lost+found is a directory where fsck puts recovered file fragments.
So your grub can't find the kernel because its not in /boot. Did you copy it over after you made it?
Did you forget to mount your boot partition before you you did the copy, so its gone into the /boot directory on your root partition?

Hi! I followed the handbook instructions and at booting i get Error 2 (Bad file or directory is the message as i remember).
I did the installation process twice following the handbook, but getting the same results. Please help! |

davidu,
Welcome to Gentoo.
You don't neet to reinstall to fix this. In fact its quite hard to trash Gentoo so badly you need to reinstall.
We need some more information to help.
Please mount your filesystems, do not chroot, and post the output of | Code: | | ls -l /mnt/gentoo/boot |
and the content of /mnt/gentoo/boot/grub/grub.conf
We also need the exact error message. Error 2 is | Code: | 2 : Bad file or directory type
This error is returned if a file requested is not a regular file,
but something like a symbolic link, directory, or FIFO.

davidu,
| Code: | | drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2 19:41 kernel2.6.36-gentoo-r5 |
Has to be wrong. Thats your kernel file, it matches grub.conf but it is only two bytes.
Its also of type d ... for directory.
My entry is | Code: | | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2276288 Dec 12 15:59 2.6.36-gentoo-r5 |
Your kernel copy from the build location went wrong.
Remove your directory /boot/kernel2.6.36-gentoo-r5 then do the bzImage copy step again.

| I did what you advised but I still have the error number 2. There's one more thing I'm unsure in though. Is it correct that in the conf file after the kernel word it points to the dir that holds the bzImage or should it point to the file itself(/boot/kernel*/bzImage)? |

davidu,
The grub.conf file points to the kernel file you want to load. If your kernel is at | Code: | | /boot/kernel2.6.36-gentoo-r5 |
then grub.conf should contain | Code: | | kernel /boot/kernel2.6.36-gentoo-r5 |
Mount your filesystems, get into the chroot and we can check a few things.
What sort of file is | Code: | | /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage |
What is its time and date stamp?
What about | Code: | | /usr/src/linux/.config |
The correct copy command for bzImage for you is | Code: | | cp /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel2.6.36-gentoo-r5 |
after you have removed the directory called /boot/kernel2.6.36-gentoo-r5
Have you been copying the whole kernel /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/boot to /boot/kernel2.6.36-gentoo-r5?
That would explain how your kernel appeared to be a directory rather than a normal file.

Hi. I just finished installing gentoo, following all the instructions in the guide, and everything went fine until the point where I had to reboot. I got GRUB ERROR 15. I think that it means that it couldn't find what it needed to boot. Any ideas on how to fix it?

HI
I am using tow hds in my PC, sda and sdb, and i setup the sdb like in the gentoo boook. So sdb1 is boot/, sdb2 swap and sdb3 is /
After all the other stuff i set grub-install -no--floppy /dev/sdb
After booting grub started, but only in the command line mode. When i set
this and then run
| Code: | | configfile /grub/grub.conf |
the menu is there.
So what a did wrong that the menu did not show up in the first place?
I also tryed to the direct whay throw grub.
| Code: | grub> root (hd1,0)
grub> setup
grub> quit
|
like in http://www.gentoo.de/doc/de/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10
but still the same problem
here my config files and a link i found about solutions, but none solved my problem: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/de/grub-error-guide.xml
| Code: | gentoo ~ # cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
# This is a sample grub.conf for use with Genkernel, per the Gentoo handbook
# http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10#doc_chap2
# If you are not using Genkernel and you need help creating this file, you
# should consult the handbook. Alternatively, consult the grub.conf.sample that
# is included with the Grub documentation.

Qvis,
Your image shows a successful grub install. Error 15 means | Code: | 15 : File not found
This error is returned if the specified file name cannot be found,
but everything else (like the disk/partition info) is OK. |
This means that one of the files that grub was asked to load in its grub.conf is not found.
Look at the kernel and initrd file names in your /boot and ensure they are identical in grub.conf.
You may not have an initrd file - it depends how you made your kernel.
Post the output of and the content of grub.conf for more help.

hcc,
Welcome to Gentoo
White space is important in grub.conf
| Code: | titleGentoo 2.6.36 02.01.2011
root(hd1,0)
kernel/boot/gentoo-2.6.36r5 root=/dev/sdb3 |
should be
| Code: | title Gentoo 2.6.36 02.01.2011
root(hd1,0)
kernel /boot/gentoo-2.6.36r5 root=/dev/sdb3 |
That's a space after the word title and a space after the word kernel.

hi, there are tabs, but in the copy processes they disapered, sorry i missed that.
I think the grub.conf is correct, because i can load it with configfile /grub/grub.conf
at boot time and after booting in the grub shell.
But i have first to run root (hd1,0)
so i think grub sets the wrrong disk as root. But i don't know why. |
