Can someone please help me understand why I'm not able to install grub? I installed FC4 a week and some ago and let it install its own grub. I thought that I could just boot into a Gentoo live cd and then reinstall grub from my existing Gentoo installation.
1) I boot into the live cd. 2) I mount my single Gentoo partition. 3) I chroot to that mount point. 4) I "grub-install /dev/hda1" 5) "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device" 6) I "grub" and then "install (hd0)" from the grub shell. 7) "Error 1: Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist" Finally, I got it to work by not chrooting at all, and then just used --root-directory=/mnt/gentoo . That worked. Why wouldn't it work before? I made sure to bind mount /proc to /mnt/gentoo/proc before chrooting. ========== I'm also having trouble getting my new Hummingbird modem to work in Linux, including FC4. It has a little Tux logo on the back of the box. But nothing I have at hand will even recognize that it exists. Maybe because the chipset supports this newfangled V.something protocol. Maybe the Tux logo means "We're sure that it could work with Linux if someone would take the time to write a driver for it." -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
