Hi,

With GRUB, my computer can choose Gentoo or Windows 7 to boot

1. Setting up

Code:

grub> root (hd0,10)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit


What I have to to similarly with GRUB2 ?

2. Configuration

Code:

title Gentoo
root (hd0,10)
kernel /boot/kernel-3.12.6 root=/dev/sda6

title Windows 7
rootnoverify (hd0,0)

chainloader +1


I don't know what to do with GRUB2 to boot Windows 7

Did you read the GRUB2 articles on the Gentoo wiki?

Yes, fturco, I read it. And I did

1. setting up
Code:

set 1 bios_grub on
grub2-install /dev/sda


2. configuration
# I config kernel modules manually, not use genkernel. Of course, grub2-mkconfig doesn't help.

grub.cfg
Code:

menuentry "Gentoo" {
    root hd0,msdos11
    linux (hd0,msdos11)/kernel-3.12.6 root=/dev/sda6
}

menuentry "Windows 7" {
     insmod part_msdos
     insmod ntldr
     insmod ntfs
     ntldr (hd0,msdos1)/bootmgr
}


I can't boot Windows 7

I've migrated to GRUB2 successful

1. Setting up:
# install GRUB2 in the MBR
Code:

grub2-install /dev/sda

2. Configuration

grub.cfg
# /boot at partition /dev/sda11
# / at partition /dev/sda6
# Windows at /dev/sda1
Code:

menuentry "Gentoo" {
    root hd0,msdos11
    linux (hd0,msdos11)/kernel-3.12.6 root=/dev/sda6
}

menuentry "Windows 7" {
     insmod part_msdos
     insmod chain
     chainloader (hd0,msdos1)+1
}
