Hello,
While installing Gentoo tonight I encountered a problem in my grub =
install. I followed in provided instructions, and set it up as =
follows...
grub> root (hd0,1) // this is my /dev/hda2 boot partition
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit
Then I went on to make the grub.conf file:
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=3D(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=3DGentoo Linux
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=3D/dev/hda4 // this is my / partition
title=3DWindoze
root (hd0,0) // this is my /dev/hda1 windows partition
chainloader +1
**Note, the // and following text above are explanations and not =
included in my files on my box.
All of this was entred without a problem, but now when I restarted, I am =
dropped to the grub> prompt again, no choices or anything. I'm =
wondering what I did wrong?? And how can I go about fixing this without =
being on gentoo to edit files..? Thanks in advance!
- Joe :)
