 |
|
Hey guys,
I'm trying to install Gentoo on a Virtual Machine following the instructions in the Installation guide, but when I get to:
| Code: | livecd conf.d # grub
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd
grub> setup (hd0) |
I get this:
| Code: | Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
Checking if "/boot/stage1" exists... no |
I checked /boot/grub and stage1 is there, so I don't know why it says it doesn't exist.
Also I noticed that when I setup the partitions using mkfs.ext3 or mkfs.ext4 grub doesn't recognize the partition type and it says type unknown and it won't run setup (hd0)
Any ideas?
Thanks |

jfha73,
Welcome to Gentoo.
Old versions of grub do not support ext3 and ext4 - which version of grub do you have?
How you go about installing grun into a Virtual Machine (VM) varies between virtualisation types.
You may need to write a device.map file for grub. I think thats described in the command.
--- edit ---
| Code: | grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd |
Partition type 0xfd means kernel raid. What type of raid superblock do you have for /boot and what raid level?

It can't be version, I'm trying the newest one there now (build 20130207).
About the partition type I'll have to try again, I don't remember. |

jfha73,
grub is something you build for yourself. The date does not help.
What does show?

This is getting weirder, I'm trying from zero and when I get to grub I get this:

jfha73,
Make friends with wgetpaste and use it to post /var/tmp/portage/sys-boot/grub-0.97-r12/temp/build.log
