i've been fighting this new install for 2 days now. i've tried grub and lilo. grub just scrolls 'GRUB' down the screen, no matter what do. lilo prints 02 about 30 times and stops i've tried 2 hard drives in this machine which was previously running XP. it's a p4 1.7ghz with 512mb ram
here's my grub.conf default 0 timeout 4 title Gentoo Linux 2.6.10r6 root (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.10 root=/dev/hda3 here's my /etc/fstab # <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass> # NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts. /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1 /dev/hda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 0 /dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 #/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0 # NOTE: The next line is critical for boot! none /proc proc defaults 0 0 # glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for # POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink). # (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will # use almost no memory if not populated with files) # Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this: none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 ------------------------------------------- i boot from livecd 2004.3 i mount root, boot, proc, turn on swap and chroot. then i run grub root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) this runs ok with no errors. on reboot it just scrolls GRUB. i'm stuck! thanks, ~P -- http://patrickcampbell.us -- [email protected] mailing list
