Code:

(chroot) livecd / # grub-install /dev/sda
grub-install: Fail: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesnt exist. Define --target or --directory.

I use Asus k8v-mx motherboard.

Dont think i have efi bios.

Could go for lilo maybe. But want to see this trough first.

Fstab:

Code:

LABEL=swap none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/sda2 /boot ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/sda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda4 / ext4 noatime 0 1

Have you checked if GRUB2 was built with the correct platform? You might need to define GRUB_PLATFORMS in your make.conf file as the wiki suggest: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB2 Also if the disk is GPT, a small BIOS boot partition with type EF02 its needed. You can find information about that also on the same wiki page.
