Not without knowing at what point the boot fails.
What is the error you're getting, and at what point after selecting the
Gentoo entry?
root (hd1,2)
Filesystem type is ext2fs partition type 0x83
kernel /kernel-2.6.12-r6 root=/dev/sdb2 acpi=off
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1200, size=0x165a46]
(and here it hangs...., no more activity)
A few things look odd to me:
1. Isn't (hd1,2) the same device as /dev/sdb2? It looks like your /boot
and / are the same here...
No, (hd1,2) is /dev/sdb3 (grub start counting from 0).
Sorry, my mistake.
Can you get to a grub command line, and do a "find /kernel-2.6.12-r6"?
Yes, grub finds the file.
Ok. everything looks sane to me. What are the starting/ending sectors
for /dev/sdb3? (fdisk -l -u). Some systems still have trouble
accessing sectors past about 8GB through BIOS calls.
