hello saifi sir
The output of /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda on my computer is:
/dev/sda1 1 9 72261  83 Linux
/dev/sda2 10 259 2008125 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 260� 8942 69746197+ 83� Linux

When I boot the computer after loading the grub I always get this message:
"Error 15: File Not Found"
"Press any key to continue....."
after pressing the enter key I get
"Gentoo Linux 2.6.24-r5"
and then pressing the "e" key, I get


root(hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.24-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0 
real_root=/dev/sda3


The second line (kernel......) which I always have to change to :

kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.6.25-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/sda3


and after then I press enter key followed by "b" key to boot.

This is all what I have to do to boot my computer every time.

After logging into the root when I run #ls /home� I got nothing ///

..

I have installed gentoo by following the instruction on gentoo site. I don't 
know where I am wrong?

thanks


regards
pankaj

Hi Pankaj:

Sample entry in grub.conf would look like

title=gentoo linux

root (sd0,2)

kernel /boot/kernel- 2.6.24-gentoo- r8  root=/dev/sda6

Grub would need to locate the stage 2 on the file system to proceed with the 
boot up process. It's impossible that /boot would be missing !

Can you please share the output of the following command -

/sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda

Can you please confirm whether you are running a Volume manager ie. lvm2 or 
evms ?

thanks

Saifi
