Can you post the output of:

carcharias rjf # cat << EOF | grub --batch

root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
EOF

Actually I have since resolved the problem... Sadly not with grub. After 
about 12 hours I just tried lilo, and it worked right away. I prefer 
grub but... :(


Here is the info I had gathered, if you spot anything suspicious let me 
know, i would rather use grub...

Does this help?

Alternatively, please post the usual info:  fdisk -l, grub.conf, df -h and 
we'll take it from there.

[gentoo-user] Instant reboot at grub stage 1.5

2006-09-21 Thread fire-eyes

Hello, I'm stumped here, so i'm open for suggestions.

My system refuses to boot fully. What happens is it powers on, and i see 
a very quick flash that says something along the lines of "Loading Grub 
Stage 1.5", and then a reboot. This just continues in a loop.


In the past few days, I was upgrading glibc to 2.4 and also to gcc 
4.1.1. I was using the GCC upgrade guide. Everything went well until it 
was time to reboot. I did do an emerge -e world.


I remerged grub, and used the grub console to reinstall. I have checked 
my grub.conf, it looks fine. It also does not have any trailing garbage 
(suggestion from others).


I also recompiled and reinstalled my kernel, making sure it was compiled 
with gcc 4.1.1.


Many times i got back in via chroot, and tried to reinstall grub, but to 
no avail. It sees the disks, it sees the partitions, it sees the 
filesystems.


So I am not sure what to do next. I flung about 4 hours of time at this 
with no change.


Any ideas?
