 |

Hi there!
This one seems very strange to me. First of all I have an ASUS A7V board with integrated 2nd IDE-controller Promise Ultra 100 and one 60Gb HD attached to it - no additional harddisks, just this one. So I started installing Gentoo exactly following the instructions - highly impressed, I love the installation so far. After partitioning, creation of filesystems and mounting I'm now at installing grub, which does not work for me at all.
I have the following partitions:
- /dev/hde1 ext3 mounted as /boot
- /dev/hde2 ntfs (unmounted)
- /dev/hde4 swap mounted as swap
- /dev/hde5 xfs mounted as /
- /dev/hde6 ntfs (unmounted)
Oh, and /boot/boot links to /boot
What I want to do now is to install grub into the MBR of /dev/hde, which should be named (hd0) inside of grub, because it is the one and only (that is: first) harddisk in my system (please don't answer "use (hd4)!", because that won't work for sure!).
As the instruction says I start grub and typed:
| Code: |
grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 16 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... failed
Error 22: No such partition
grub>
|
So now I don't understand, how grub can access (hd0,0) but not (hd0) ? What it actually did is, it killed my old lilo ("LI" at bootup), which was my intention, but does not install itself.
Thanks for help

can u post your menu.lst file ?
where did you put it?
it find /boot fine - so the problem's not there.. it says:
"(hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... failed " |

... maybe it's because I had still chroot'ed to /mnt/gentoo, after i did
| Code: |
exit
grub
... same as above ...
|
it worked again.
that's strange in my eyes, but It might to be supposed to work this way and I did not read the docs carefully enough? I think there is nothing special about my menu.lst, it's:
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hde5
title=Windows 2000
root (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
|
Anyway, now it works and I'm glad, I did not switch back to lilo, grub is really nice.
Needles to tell all you Gentoos that Gentoo rocks. But it does, and I have to say it. Gentoo ROCKS!
Thank you, I'm sorry for troublemaking ...
Have a nice day!
