 |
|
HI, first and foremost I want to thank you for helping me.
This is my first Gentoo install ever! I've been on Linux like 9 months now, Using Ubuntu and decided to try Gentoo!
Well I was going along using the amd64 install handbook and came to this error while installing grub
| Code: | grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda1
The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. |
I'm pretty sure i screwed it up some where (I'm not that bright)
this is my mtab:
| Code: | none /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
none /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
udev /dev tmpfs rw,mode=755 0 0

this is my fstab:
| Code: | # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail / tail freely.
#
# The root filesystem should have a pass number of either 0 or 1.
# All other filesystems should have a pass number of 0 or greater than 1.
#
# See the manpage fstab(5) for more information.
#
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2

#/dev/SWAP none swap sw 0 0
#/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).

# use almost no memory if not populated with files)

boot the cd,
run:
| Code: |
mount /mnt/gentoo /dev/sda1
#enter the chroot
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"
emerge --sync
emerge grub
grub
find /boot/grub/grub.conf
|
the result should be (hd0,0) if it is, run:
| Code: | root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
exit
reboot |
# to hard drive
If the result is (hdx,y) vice (hd0,0), run: (substituting the returned digits for x and y)
| Code: | root (hdx,y)
setup (hdx)
quit
exit
reboot |
# to hard drive
If the result is no result; verify the /boot/grub directory structure. |

Any way this is my output:
| Code: | grub> find /boot/grub/grub.conf
Error 15: File not found

boot ubuntu
| Code: | su mkdir /mnt/gentoo
su mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo
ls -l /mnt/gentoo
ls -l /mnt/gentoo/boot
ls -l /mnt/gentoo/boot/grub |
since you were running grub-install I assumed you intended to replace ubuntu grub MBR and menu.lst with gentoo grub MBR and grub.conf?
You can simply add a gentoo listing to the master ubuntu menu.lst. |

Interesting, your ubuntu grub and gentoo grub both are about a year old and both are unable to read ext3fs with an inode size 256 which was a change that is about a year old.
Fixable by updating grub:
boot ubuntu
| Code: | mount /mnt/gentoo /dev/sda1
#enter the chroot
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"
rm -rf /grub # comment below
emerge --sync
emerge -av grub # should offer version .97.6 or later, accept that or holler if not offered
grub
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
exit
|
other things
fstab | Quote: | | /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 |
should be | Quote: | | /dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults 1 2 |
says you have a grub directory under /, that should not be there. Fixed above. But the structure under /boot looks good.
reboot |

strokeshao:
Judging by your mtab, you have /dev/sda1 mounted on BOTH / and /boot. (/mnt/gentoo and /mnt/gentoo/boot before you entered the chroot) This is incorrect. You don't have a separate /boot partition. You only need to mount /dev/sda1 on /mnt/gentoo.
It seems you have copied the example grub.conf from the Handbook without making adjustments for the kernel image and the partition for /. You have real_root=/dev/sda3 in your grub stanza, but you don't have a /dev/sda3 on your system. (It should be /dev/sda1 if you have installed the whole of Gentoo on /dev/sda1.)
Just looking over your posts again, you have used the grub lines for genkernel in your Ubuntu menu.lst and the non-genkernel lines in Gentoo's grub.conf. Did you use genkernel?
Your /etc/fstab is wrong as well. It should be:
| Code: | | /dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults 0 1 |
(Edit: you could use noatime instead of defaults if you like. I do.) |

Well I have some good news and some bad news.
good news is; DONAHUE's steps did the trick I also fixed mtab, and fstab
bad news is, uhmm... Well not precisely booting. When I start up my computer it goes to the black screen with a blinking cursor on top, it stays like this for bout a minute, then, you can see all the output of the OS booting, not 3 seconds in the screen goes berserk and the output looks very weird, like hashed out and my laptop lights start blinking and doesn't move from there.
Had to reboot and reinstall Ubuntu's grub to the MBR Using a live cd.
Here is mtab and fstab with the recent modifications

The long delay was because of 2 timeout 30 lines.
The scrambling usually results from splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz being active with no /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz file being present. Appears to not be the case for you so unexplained. Failure to load kernel was caused by root=/dev/sda3 on kernel line when root =/dev/sda1.
edit grub.conf to:
| Quote: |

Make these corrections and resetup gentoo grub mbr as before and you should be able to boot gentoo or ubuntu from the gentoo MBR and grub.conf.
in your ubuntu menu.lst add :
| Quote: | title Gentoo Linux 2.6.24-r5
#Partition where the kernel image (or operating system) is located
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/sda1
title Gentoo Linux 2.6.24-r5 (rescue)
# Partition where the kernel image (or operating system) is located
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/sda1 init=/bin/bb
|
do your apt get update thing for grub in ubuntu including setting up the MBR and you should be able to boot gentoo form the ubuntu mbr and menu.lst. Until grub is updated and the MBR resetup the ubuntu grub will not be able to read the /dev/sda1 ext3 file system. |

So! You might want to kill -9 me by now but, again, some good news and some bad news.
Good news: seems that advice worked perfectly!
Baaad news : I get this error while booting:
| Code: | | [2.851428] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (2,0) |
PS not being lazy also googling this before asking. |

| That willl be due to an error in kernel configuration no support for for hard drive controller.. boot the 10.4 ubuntu run post results if -k option is rejected just lspci will do. |

I noticed that your fstab is not correct. You should correctly specify and enable all mountpoints you actually use. That is, remove the '#' in front of the 3 lines following /dev/sda1 and replace the text '/dev/ROOT' by something real e.g. /dev/sda2. The same applies to the next 2 lines. Have you done that already? (I have not read the entire post). |

And the bad news is that your newly installed kernel and system are horribly out of date. Hopefully the config choices which are current will work anyway. You can update after you can boot. |

also the error message while booting is :

you didn't show this part;
SCSI device support --->
*** SCSI support type (disk, tape, CD-ROM) ***
<*> SCSI disk support
< > SCSI tape support
< > SCSI OnStream SC-x0 tape support
<*> SCSI CDROM support
You did recompile the kernel with the new config?? :-)
To verify the new kernel was copied to /boot
boot the cd, run:
| Code: | su mkdir /mnt/gentoo
su mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo
ls -l /mnt/gentoo/boot |
should contain something like
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3714880 May 11 13:23 kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r5 <--> the key items
if not present with current date run:
| Code: | | cp /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/arch/x86_64/boot/bzimage /mnt/gentoo/boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r5 |

and the other output sees to be correct:
| Code: |
# ls -l /boot
total 3480
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 2009-05-10 12:44 boot -> .

2009-05-10 14:27 says the kernel in /boot was compiled and installed before I posted the suggested configuration changes. Since I am writing this on a motherboard that uses the same chipset and configuration as you now have; I have to leap to the conclusion that the new kernel has not been recopied to /boot after being recompiled with the revised configuration. So a quick total rerun:
| Code: |
boot the cd, then run:
mount /mnt/gentoo /dev/sda1
#enter the chroot
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"
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig #check that the changes are present
make && make modules_install
cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r5 #x86_64 for 64 bit should be replaced by x86 if the install is 32 bit
exit
reboot |
to hard drive -- fingers crossed |
