Hi all,
i did follow the staps in the handbook x86, when i reached step "10.d. Roobooting the System"
it wil stop after choosing the gentoo linux in the grub loader.
my error is: Error 15
Quote: |
Booting 'Gentoo Linux 2.6.24-r5'
Root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/xfkernel01 root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/sda3
Error 15: File not found
press any key to continue ...

I would guess that you did not create an initrd/initramfs. if not, your grub.conf root and kernel lines should not be trying to find to find the root filesystem at /dev/ram0.
try
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xfkernel01 root=/dev/sda3
If you did create an initrd/initramfs, your grub.conf needs an initrd line
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xfkernel01 real_root=/dev/sda3
initrd /boot/your initramfs name --use ls /boot to find name _________________ Defund the FCC. |

apologies, I tracked off on the problem you had not gotten to yet ..
boot cd
mount the gentoo partitions and check the kernel name and that the boot symlink exists:
Code: | mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
ls -l /mnt/gentoo/boot |
the kernel name in /mnt/gentoo/boot/grub.conf must exactly match the name in /mnt/gentoo/boot. Code: | nano /mnt/gentoo/boot/grub.conf | to fix
you should have a symlink line similar to Quote: | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 Oct 18 2011 boot -> . | Code: | cd /mnt/gentoo/boot
ln -s . boot | to fix _________________ Defund the FCC. |

Monte5,
Error 15 mens that a file you have named in grub.conf does not exist in /boot, so grub cannot load it.
Code: | kernel /boot/xfkernel01 root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/sda3 |
Tells grub to load the file /boot/xfkernel01 - does that file exist?
You may also be trying to laod an initrd file, which is not shown in your error report.
The same rules apply - file names mentioned in grub.conf must exit in /boot and be identical.
In your case xfkernel01 will not find XFkernel01. Case matters. _________________ Regards,
