Re: [gentoo-user] Problem on booting after installation.

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Barry,

Further to my previous posting

I  followed Code listing 23.4 to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf

*********************
Code listing 23.4: grub.conf for GRUB
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
# If you're using genkernel, use something like this instead:
title=My example Gentoo Linux (genkernel)
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-KV root=/dev/hda3
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-KV
***************************************
I copied all and only changed only 'root=/dev/hda3' to 'root=/dev/hde3'

Any comment.  Thanks

B.R.

Hi Barry,

Thanks for your response

Did you edit your grub.conf (fairly well documented in the installation
docs)?  Looks like you used the dummy default version.
 

Yes.  I followed the installation instruction to edit 
/boot/grub/grub.conf with 'nano' editor.  Maybe I have done something 
wrong there.  Unfortunately the boot disk also can't boot the new 
system.  Kindly advise how to start the system to re-edit 
/boot/grub/grub.conf other than to boot up the new system with CD1

Thanks in advance.
