Sorry, been out all afternoon. All you need to do is boot with the install CD, mount your boot partition, and edit /boot/grub/grub.conf. Your settings are generic;"kernel-KV" should be your kernel. If you used gentoo-sources (recently), it's kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r7. Here's mine:
starbaby (~) $ sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /boot starbaby (~) $ cat /boot/grub/grub.conf default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=Gentoo Linux root (hd1,0) kernel (hd1,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/hdb3 hdc=ide-scsi initrd (hd1,0)/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r7 On Sat, 2003-10-11 at 13:22, Stephen Liu wrote: > 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.
