|
|
Hi,
I've just finished installing Gentoo and setting up the bootloader, but after the reboot I'm stuck with this problem:
Grub do find the kernel, the point is that it stops while booting it/continues trying to do it infinitely:
Code: |
Booting 'Gentoo Linux'
root (hd0,2)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /gentoo-kernel root=/dev/sda1
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x300, size=0x43f880]
early console in decompress-kernel
Decompressing Linux . . . Parsing ELF . . .done
Booting the kernel
|
And then there's just a blinking cursor.
My partition table is this:
Code: |
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/gentoo (ext4)
/dev/sda2 is swap
/dev/sda3 on /mnt/gentoo/boot (ext4)
/dev/sda4 on /mnt/gentoo/home (ext4)
|
Here's my grub.conf file:
Code: |
default 0
timeout 30
#splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#title Gentoo Linux 2.6.24-r5
#root (hd0,0)
#kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.24-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/sda3
#initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.24-gentoo-r5
# vim:ft=conf:
title Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,2)
kernel /gentoo-kernel root=/dev/sda1
title Gentoo Linux (Rescue)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /gentoo-kernel root=/dev/sda1 init=/bin/bb
|
Just two things:
In order to start some LiveCDs I had to disalbe "acpi", but I tried to add "acpi=off" after the "root" variable and the issue persisted.
The handbook says that if I have an initramfs I should change the config file, but I don't actually know if I have it or not. So this could be the problem.
If it is, how can I solve?
If it isn't, are there any other solutions?
Thanks in advance! |

No, that wasn't my problem. It could find the kernel but for some reasons during the boot it was just stopping.
Anyway I asked on some Irc chats and found that it was a kernel problem (which, first time, I tried to config manually). Using genkernel all went fine.
Probably it was just an "acpi" option that I checked but didn't have to. |
