Ok.
Yes, you should use in your windows entry in /boot/grub/grub.conf
| Code: | map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0) |
Does XP boot? If not, do you get any error?

GREAT! i started windows after i added 'map' directives into my grub.conf - one problem is eliminated!!!
Linux boot error:
| Code: |
Booting Linux...

Check that your kernel name is kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r3. Boot with the live-cd and mount the partitions then do
| Code: | | # ls -l /mnt/gentoo/boot |

romalong,
Your kerenl line is supposed to be just that - one very long line, not
| Code: | kernel /kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/ram0
init=/linuxrc
ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda3 udev |

Deadmouse,
Check that /boot is mounted and that /boot/grub/stage1 exists.
If so, try again.

Deadmouse,
Install grub manually with
| Code: | grub
root (hdX,Y)
setup (hdZ)
quit |
You put the right numbers in for X, Y andZ.
hdX is the drive where your /boot is
,Y is the /boot partition (or in your case your / (root) partition)
hdZ describes the MBR to install grub on.
All entries are in grubspeak.

I'm getting the same problem with GRUB, it can't seem to find /boot/grub/stage1.
I've mounted and chrooted and I know it's there: I already remerged grub.
| Code: | grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no
Error 15: File not found
grub> quit
livecd boot # find grub/stage1
grub/stage1
livecd boot # |
[/code]

jwever,
have you looked at the first page of this thread? I believe the problem you're facing is addressed there.

I'm sorry for not spoting this earlier, but you have to replace your root line with
You must add the space in between.

|
|
I just got done installed gentoo, and this is the last step (sort of)..
when I reboot the my computer.. at boot up I've gotten this error message:
| Code: |
Booting 'Gentoo Linux 2.6.12-gentoo-r4'
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/hda3
Error 15: File not found
press any ke to continue...
|
where I have got wrong.. is it on the grub.conf
here is my grub.conf
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.12.r4
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/hda3
|
should I include the "initramfs" on my grub.conf, if somebody could tell me a really decent grub.conf configuration and post it, I'll really appreciate that.
btw, I use genkernel, and start my installation from stage 3.
thanks |

Hi, i'm getting a weird error
| Code: | root (hd3,0)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
kernel /kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/hdd3
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
Press any key to continue..._ |
Everything i've read is by people getting this error when trying to boot a windows partition. but my XP partition boots fine. i get this error when i'm trying to boot my linux kernel.
Can someone help me please?
Fixed, turns out that my device's written in caps lock so it was erroring

jmbsvicetto,
I might be missing it, but the only thing I see on the first page that is similar to my problem is the problem of grub booting to the grub command prompt. I'm not getting a prompt, just GRUB with a flashing cursor. I can't type anything nor can I hit <enter> to continue booting. If I'm missing it, please help me out by pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks. |
