First Boot after install: Error 15: file not found

After booting the first time after install (and all subsequent times) I get to grub and select Gentoo.

I then get the following:

Booting command-list

root (hd0,0)
filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdc3

Error 15: File not found

Press Any Key to Continue...

Presisng a key returns to the GRUB menu.

I'm not sure what's going on.

I have gentoo installed on the Secondary Master (hdc). There is currently no primary master (my IBM 60GXP melted).

to install grub I had to:
root (hd0,0)

typing hd2,0 said the disk did not exist.

so in menu.lst I put root (hd0,0), which doesn't technically correspond to the correct location, which should be hd2,0.

Booting gives the error above. Any ideas?

thanks.

i've noticed after ooting back to the install cd and looking around that

/dev/hdc1 (my /boot) has no "bzImage"

the grub command is

Yeah just boot from the cd mount your partitions and follow the initial steps to compile your kernel again.

Same problem for me! Funny thing is.. I know I didn't forget to copy those files to /boot. But, I will repeat the steps over as well.

I'm glad this topic was already posted and that I can get gentoo to work. That was pretty frustrating after going through the whole install process not being able to boot!
