Hello, |
2 |
I am trying to install gentoo on a desktop machine. I downloaded the |
3 |
minimal CD and followed the instruction in the quick installation. Now, |
4 |
I have a problem either in the grub configuration or in kernel and I |
5 |
need help to figure this one out. |
6 |
|
7 |
I have existing partitions for windows and my previous Fedora (/home |
8 |
directory), therefore I installed gentoo on /dev/hda3. The problem is I |
9 |
get a kernel panic when I try to boot. In grub I am using (hd0,2) as my |
10 |
root, because I don't want to write anything to the mbr. After editing |
11 |
grub.conf, I run a grub shell, and execute the commands root(hd0,2) then |
12 |
setup(hd0,2). Then tried to reboot. |
13 |
|
14 |
Here the relevant part of grub.conf: |
15 |
============================ |
16 |
title Linux |
17 |
root (hd0,2) |
18 |
kernel (hd0,2)/boot/kernel root=/dev/hda3 |
19 |
================================= |
20 |
|
21 |
I don't have a separate partition for boot, it's on the root "/" filesystem. |
22 |
|
23 |
Can anyone tell what's going on ? If there's missing info please let me |
24 |
know, as everyone has different way when troubleshooting a problem. |
