 |
|
Hello,
I'm installing Gentoo on my new hard disk (20GB).
My first partition is windows98 (dev/hda1) then I have a boot partition (dev/hda2), swap partition (dev/hda3) and root partition (dev/hda4).
When I type:
grub> root (hd0,0) it says: Filesystem is fat partition, type 0xb.
Then I type:
grub> setup (hd0) and I get this:
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists....no
Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists....no
Error 15: File not found.
What am I missing?
Thanks for your help. |

Your boot is /dev/hda2. So the root command should be:

I got exactly the same problem, but I did everything right
my partitions:
/dev/hda1 WinXP
/dev/hda2 /boot
/dev/hda3 /
/dev/hda5 swap
so i entered grub and then:
| Code: |
root (hd0,1)
setup (hd0)
|
but then it gives the same error of not finding stage1 (although I checked the directory and it's definitely there).
I also checked if my /boot was mounted correctly and that's also true.
So now I'm stuck here (well i'm at work now actually)... waiting to finalize my installation.. (but emerging x/kde/gnome to keep the system busy) |

The other thing the FAQ entry mentions is failure to specify notail when mounting reiserfs on /boot. Does this apply to you?

Aah sorry forgot to mention that...
both my /boot and / are ext3
with root (hd0,1) grub tells me it's ext2 but i read somewhere that's normal... so I ignored it... |
