|
|
Hi,
I'm trying to install 1.2 stage 3. Everything appears to be fine until I reboot. The splash screen comes up, when I hit enter I get the following error.
Quote: | Booting 'Gentoo"
root (hd0,0)
filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0 x 83
kernel /boot/bzimage root = /dev/hda3
error 15: file not found |
I noticed that the "i" in bzImage is lower case in the error message. Could this be the problem, if I entered it that way in /boot/grub/menu.lst? I think Gentoo might push me over the edge.
Please help, I don't think I can handle any more electro shock therapy. |

check your menu.lst file ... "root=/dev/hda3" may not contain any spaces _________________ A mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems. ~ Alfred Renyi (*1921 - †1970) |

Hey there:
I had a similar problem where grub couldn't find my bzImage. In your case, you definitely want to boot off the cd and then mount your boot partion (/dev/hda1). If you named your kernel image "bzImage" then make sure that your grub/menu.lst file has the line (all the same case)
Code: | kernel bzImage root=... |
Here's were I'd like you to do me a favor. can you do an ls inside your boot partition. Do you have a boot/ directory listed there? If so, what type is it (a link or what).
I deleted this directory early thinking that it was unneccessary.

yeah, i've forgot to say ... grub works casesensitive ... (just like almost everything with linux) _________________ A mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems. ~ Alfred Renyi (*1921 - †1970) |

My initial thoughts were correct. That lower case "i" in BzImage was the problem. |
