the hard drive is in fact pata and not sata or scsi? |
| 2 |
linux file systems were compiled into the kernel to support the file systems |
| 3 |
on the |
| 4 |
partition(s)? --- what is in your fstab??? |
| 5 |
you installed/have one windows one linux one swap partitions? |
| 6 |
or |
| 7 |
you installed/have one windows/ one linux boot/ one linux root/ one swap |
| 8 |
partitions? |
| 9 |
or |
| 10 |
??? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Suggest you boot the install cd |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/gentoo ---this will report the file system used |
| 15 |
ls -l /mnt/gentoo |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
determine whether it is a root or a boot directory. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
ls -l /mnt/gentoo/boot |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
should contain file: bzImage-2.6.14 which should be exact spelling of your |
| 22 |
kernel name if grub.conf is correct what kernel install method did you |
| 23 |
use? my kernel names always look like kernel-2.6.13-r5 after following the |
| 24 |
handbook |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
suggest delete: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
root (hd0,1) |
| 29 |
setup (hd0) |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
from grub.conf |
