Hi there. I've read a few posts on this, but got stuck, as i've already formatted the partition again, this time with 128 byte inode size, and it still gives out the same. Any ideas?

I've tried normal grub, tried recompiling it with static USE flag, and grub-static.... nothing worked

yours is not the inode problem
boot cd, run | Code: | fdisk -l
cat /etc/fstab
cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
grub
find /boot/grub/stage1
|
and post results here.
Annotate the fstab -l to indicate location of / and /boot as you know them to be. |

WTF??????????????
I did an fdisk -l as you said, and this is what it showed me..
| Code: |
localhost ~ # fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

WTF is sda4?????
BTW, i'm not booting from boot cd. i booted from the machine itself, with lilo. But i do want grub to work.
| Code: |
localhost ~ # cat /etc/fstab | grep -v \#
/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda3 /home reiserfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/Windows auto defaults,users,umask=0660 0 0

/dev/Pen4Gb_1 /mnt/Pen4Gb auto noauto,users,defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |
| Code: |
localhost ~ # cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
default 0
timeout 1
title Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1
|
as for grub...
| Code: |
GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename. ]
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
Error 15: File not found
grub> find /boot
Error 15: File not found
grub>
|
EDIT:
Ok , i corrected the partition thingie with fdisk (changed the type to linux, deleted sda4, marked sda1 as bootable), and it worked....
I guess that little Leopard installation i tried yesterday (and failed) DID do something to the partitions afterall.....
Thanks.
