Hi, At the moment I'm trying to upgrade one of my old computers from SuSE to Gentoo. I have install a second SCSI-disk and installed Gentoo on this second disk using a stage-1 install. But when I try to boot my new install GRUB hangs (kernel does not uncompress) after I have selected the kernel.
This is the output from grub after selecting my gentoo setup.
root (hd1,2)
Filesystem type is ext2fs partition type 0x83
kernel /kernel-2.6.12-r6 root=/dev/sdb2 acpi=off
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1200, size=0x165a46]
(and here it hangs....)
I have installed grub to MBR of the first SCSI-disk (sda) and I'm having my
grub files on sdb3.
Here's my grub.conf file:
# By default, boot the first entry.
default 0
# By default boot the old SuSE (until Gentoo boots OK)
title SuSE
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 acpi=off splash=silent
showopts
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd
# For booting Gentoo 2.6.12-r6
title Gentoo 2.6.12-r6
root (hd1,2)
kernel /kernel-2.6.12-r6 root=/dev/sdb2 acpi=off
The second SCSI-disk (Gentoo) has the following partitions:
/dev/sdb1 swap
/dev/sdb2 /
/dev/sdb3 /boot
/dev/sdb4 LVM
The Kernel is compiled without Module support and all necessary drivers are
compiled into the kernel.
Booting the old SuSE installation works without problems but Gentoo does not.
Any suggestions on what could be wrong?
Regards,
