 |
|
Hi, ALL,
I received this after upgrading grub:
| Code: |
^[[33;01m*^[[0m *** IMPORTANT NOTE: you must run grub and install
^[[33;01m*^[[0m the new version's stage1 to your MBR. Until you do,
^[[33;01m*^[[0m stage1 and stage2 will still be the old version, but
^[[33;01m*^[[0m later stages will be the new version, which could
^[[33;01m*^[[0m cause problems such as an unbootable system.
^[[33;01m*^[[0m This means you must use either grub-install or perform
^[[33;01m*^[[0m root/setup manually! For more help, see the handbook:
^[[33;01m*^[[0m http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10#grub-install-auto
^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G ^[[32;01m*^[[0m Copying files from /lib/grub, /usr/lib/grub and /usr/share/grub to //boot/grub
^[[32;01m*^[[0m Grub has been installed to //boot successfully.
^[[32;01m*^[[0m
^[[32;01m*^[[0m To interactively install grub files to another device such as a USB
^[[32;01m*^[[0m stick, just run the following and specify the directory as prompted:
^[[32;01m*^[[0m emerge --config =grub-0.97-r9
^[[32;01m*^[[0m Alternately, you can export GRUB_ALT_INSTALLDIR=/path/to/use to tell
^[[32;01m*^[[0m grub where to install in a non-interactive way.

What I need to do to use the new version?
The after-install installation message is confusing...
Thank you. |

grub is a package like gentoo-sources. they get installed by portage, but to use them, some addition steps are necessary.
as you probably just installed a revision update (-rX change), you can continue to use grub as before.
BUT the effective boot loader binary - those which get loaded at boot time as boot loader - are not yet updated. you need to "reinstall" grub.
| Code: |
# grub --no-floopy
> root (hd0,0)
> setup (hd0)
> quit
|
adapt acording to you setup.
cheers
