Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel File not found
I just finished a re-install of my laptop to get multilib working and grub apparently can't find the kernel this time. I've tried grub and grub-static. I get this: root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /boot /kernel-2.6.22-hardened-r8 root: /dev/sda3 Error 15: File not found I'm using all of the config files that were working perfectly on the previous install. The only things out of the ordinary are: 1. I forgot to copy the kernel into the boot partition the first time I rebooted and got this same error. I booted the LiveCD again and copied it over after mounting /dev/sda3 and /dev/sda1. I thought for sure that would fix it but no. I've verified that the correctly named kernel file is in /mnt/gentoo/boot when /dev/sda1 is mounted. grub.conf is from my previous install and references the kernel file correctly. 2. I used -fforce-addr in make.conf this time even though I don't know what it does because it was included in the default make.conf. Any ideas? - Grant When the grub menu comes up, hit e twice and then try to use tab completion to find it and the arrow keys to navigate. That may help. Tab completion works like it does in a console. Sort of neat really. Great! Tab competion is awesome. I had to specify the path like so: kernel /kernel-2.6.22-hardened-r8 root=/dev/sda3 instead of /boot/kernel-2.6.22-hardened-r8. Does anyone know why that might be? Thanks Dale. I hope that helps.

Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /boot /kernel-2.6.22-hardened-r8 root: /dev/sda3 Error 15: File not found There should be no space between /boot and /kernel. Actually just a transcription error. - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The path you specify in the kernel line is relative to the partition specified in the root line (which should be tha partition whose filesystem contains the kernel image). If your /boot is on a separate partition, this means that using kernel /boot/kernel would be incorrect, since there is no /boot directory in the partition mounted in /boot. Rather, all the files are located at the first level (from grub's (hd0,0) standpoint). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Jul 00:01 /boot/boot - . Now you can write kernel /kernel-x-y-z and kernel /boot/kernel-x-y-z and both lines will point to the same kernel ;) -- Johann Schmitz http://www.j-schmitz.net -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
