Hi list. I have a problem and maybe it is simple to use. But consider I am a Debian renegade, searching for protection under Gentoo Roof ... :)
I have the following Disc Configuration: /dev/hda = CDROM /dev/hdb = Hard Disk After hours of pain, I decided to start gentoo all in memory, using "gentoo docache" string at minimun CD start. After that, all the steps went fine. Following Gentoo handbook, I did the following: /dev/hdb1 -> /boot /dev/hdb2 -> swap /dev/hdb3 -> / During the start of installation, I did as recommended in handbook: /mnt/gentoo -> / /mnt/gentoo/boot -> /boot Then, kindly selected GRUB, and did this simple /boot/grub.conf file: default 0 timeout 0 splashimage=(dhb0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Gentoo Linux 2.6.12.gentoo-r10 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/2.6.12-gentoo-r10 root=/dev/hdb3 After this, I tried to exec grub-install (hd0) And a message points that "/dev/hdb1 doe not have any corresponding BIOS drive". So I did it by GRUB itself. Now, I start the computer, and receive the following messages: GRUB Loading stage1.5 -> here I wait several minutes, and the HD is working GRUB loading, please wait -> here I wait much more. As I see, I am having troubles with GRUB itself, not Gentoo. Can Somebody show me what could be done ? Thanx Gilberto Martins Brazil -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
