I have an AMD64 system which I just installed the AMD64 Gentoo Image onto, following AMD64 HowTo. However, I am having trouble getting grub to find my kernel. I'm only using grub because of the warning about LILO (which I much prefer due to the device naming convention it uses) - I was using LILO under Slackware but that was 32-bit only, and not I'm using the 64/32 bit mix - so I'm going with what's recommended for now.
The system is set to boot off of /dev/hdb2 (ext2) and use /dev/hdb1 as the root. I believe the boot device is hd1,1 in grub terminology. The system has 3 hard drives: hda, hdb, and sda; as well as a dvd drive (hdc). /dev/hdb2 has the following structure: - list of all my Slackware kernels - gentoo/bzImage - gentoo/bzImage_2-6-23-gentoo-r3 - grub/ Below is my grub.conf (minus comment lines): timeout 30 default 0 fallback 1 title Gentoo Linux root (hd1,1) kernel /gentoo/bzImage root=/dev/hdb1 title Slackware Linux root (hd1,1) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 title Install GRUB into the hard disk root (hd1,1) setup (hd1) title Change the colors color light-green/brown blink-red/blue I installed it via: # grub grub: root (hd1,1) grub: setup (hd1) grub: exit All seems well. It boots and presents the menu, but then can't find the kernel when I select "Gentoo Linux" or try to manually run the lines. I tried using "find" at the grub command prompt during the boot process, but it couldn't find it either. I haven't tried the Slackware kernel yet, as I am mostly concerned about the Gentoo kernel. Note: I am using LVM2 under this Gentoo install - but not for /boot or /. What am I missing? TIA, Ben -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
