Thanks Ali!
I didn't catch that in the documentation, but as soon as I changed it,
it worked right way. :)

I am not an expert, but based on the grub documentation, it doesn't
distinguish SCSI vs non-SCSI drives when it comes to the "root"
clause, so change
root (sd0,0)
to
root (hd0,0)
and see if that make any difference.

Hello everyone,
I'm installing gentoo on a Tyan GX28 with a broadcom SATA 8XXX RAID
Controller
and I'm getting the following error after Grub passes the boot
selection screen:
-------------------------------------------
Booting 'Gentoo Linux'
root (sd0,0)
Error 23: Error while parsing number
Press any key to continue...
-------------------------------------------
After that it just returns me to the boot selection screen.
According to the grub manual this is a syntax error in my grub.conf
file where
grub expects to find a number but finds somethng else. Thing is my
grub.conf file
is extremely short and just don't see where grub is expecting a
number and isn't
getting it. Maybe someone can point out my ignorance here? I'd really
apprecate it. :-D
Here is the contents of my grub.conf file:
########################################
default 0
timeout 30
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.11-r11
root (sd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r11 root=/dev/sda3
########################################
Any deas?
