I didn't follow Heath's HowTo exactly, and my setup is probably a bit |
| 15 |
different, but I just want to get this out in the open to make sure |
| 16 |
everything is clear. |
| 17 |
- If you mount /dev/hda1 at /boot (as in the big Gentoo manual) and |
| 18 |
then put your kernel here, root (hd0,0) and kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.x are |
| 19 |
correct, but it should have been root=/dev/hda3. |
| 20 |
- It seems in the howto, /boot is on /dev/hda2 of the flash |
| 21 |
installation, so (hd0,1) and /vmlinuz would be correct (the first |
| 22 |
drive's second partition). Root=/dev/hda1 is ok that that case if |
| 23 |
that's where your filesystem is. |
| 24 |
- Now, if the kernel is in the directory /boot of /dev/hda1 and the |
| 25 |
root file system is also /dev/hda1, Pierre's above solution is correct. |
| 26 |
Basically, though, a bootloader knows nothing of your local mount |
| 27 |
points. |
| 28 |
|

As for your problem, Pierre, check that you're getting your paths to |
| 30 |
your init right and don't forget to think about what grub sees. In |
| 31 |
this grub conf, the kernel is on /dev/hda1 and the root filesystem is |
| 32 |
on /dev/hda3. This also runs pre-init (part of the filesystem on /dev/ |
| 33 |
hda3) instead of init: |

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.x root=/dev/hda3 init=/sbin/pre-init |
