Hello,
I've been using my computer for awhile and decided to upgrade to gentoo
2005.1. Since there is nothing important on this system I decide to
install from scratch. I follow the quickinstall howto and reference the
installation manual for 2005.1 and my own notes, as I've installed
perhaps 8 or so gentoo systems.
I'm using the Universal 2005.1 live CDROM.
Everything proceeds well, including installing grub, setting up
grub.conf and running grub-install, and when I'm finished I exit
the chroot environment, umount my root and boot partitions, and reboot.
It fails, with the dreaded message " Disk Boot Failure, Insert System
Disk And Press Enter".
I boot the live CD again, double check my grub.conf file, run
grub-install again, check with fdisk that my boot partition is bootable,
and try again. Same result.
I'm mystified. I've been using this computer for developing systems over
the past few months and have rebooted it many, many times, with no
difficulty.
I figure it's failing very early if I'm not even getting into grub.
Any ideas? Any suggestions for what to test, inspect, try?
Thanks,
Michael
