 Posted: Thu Nov 14, 2002 5:07 am Post subject: Problem with GRUB and usb support |
 |
|
First off, I cannot get grub to display a menu. I created /boot/grub/grub.conf and created the symlink menu.lst but still no menu.
Second, I cannot get usb support to work. I have tried both UHCI drivers, I have full HID support on, hid input layer support, /dev/hiddev support, preliminary usb device system, also have keyboard/mouse support in core input devices. Despite these settings, /dev/input/ is not created and both my usb keyboard and mouse do not work.
Any ideas? Thanks,
Eric |

Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes

After reboot grub don't show boot menu but only his own prompt.
I errased /boot, emerge grub (newer one), once again repeat grub instalation and efect is the same.
What to do If I would like to have boot meno working?
Please - dont answer go to Lilo  |

about the menu, make sure that you have menu.lst set up correctly. mine looks like this:
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 0
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
....
....

It's just a guess, but on my computer, grub.conf (as well as menu.lst) is located in /boot/grub/ Maybe that fixes at least the problem with the grub prompt. Here are my /boot and /boot/grub directories:
| Code: |
bash-2.05a# ls -ls /boot/
total 16168
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 Aug 8 14:54 boot -> .
1240 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1265943 Oct 12 17:58 bzImage.14
... [I left some of my kernel files out here ;)]
4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 10 01:46 grub
|
| Code: |
bash-2.05a# ls -ls /boot/grub
total 224
8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8000 Aug 8 17:28 e2fs_stage1_5
8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7536 Aug 8 17:28 fat_stage1_5
8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6976 Aug 8 17:28 ffs_stage1_5

hmm I believe that menu.lst is right..
/boot/grub/ has all the stages, grub.conf, and menu.lst
my menu.lst has a basic setup:
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3 hdc=ide-scsi
to install LILO should I mount my /boot or not? |
