Greetings. I'm having considerable difficulty getting GRUB to boot
Gentoo Linux on my computer.
When I boot with GRUB on the MBR, I just get "Error 22". When I boot
with GRUB on the partition itself with BeOS's bootman routing me to it,
it just locks after it prints "GRUB ".
I've tried recreating my menu.lst several times. I made sure it was
named lst as in list, not as in first. I tried making a device.map file
to map hdf to (hd0) and changing my menu.lst to boot from (hd0,4). No
dice. I tried telling it to boot from (hd5,2) (hdf = 5). Nope again.
Useful information that is probably related:
My hard drive setup:
3 physical drives
/dev/hda - Windows 98 and BeOS
/dev/hdf
First partition - BeOS data
Second partition - Extended for Gentoo
50MB boot partition (ext3)
500MB swap partition (swap)
6.2GBish root partition (ext3).
Third partition - Windows 2000 (NTFS)
Fourth partition - FAT32 data
/dev/hdg - Windows 2000 data
Note that hdf and hdg are connected through a Promise Ultra66 card, not
directly to the motherboard like hda.
In grub. setup (hd2,<tab> shows my Linux partitions to be:
(hd2,4) - boot,
(hd2,5) - swap
(hd2,6) - root
My /boot contains a symlink to itself called boot, bzImage, and the grub
folder.
The grub folder contains 8 _stage1_5 files, my menu.lst, splash.xpm.gz,
stage1, and stage2.
My menu.lst is the following:
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd2,4)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd2,4)
kernel (hd2,4)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdf7
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks in advance! Brian
