1 I have a machine that I recently installed, and I'm having trouble
2 getting grub to boot up using the grub.conf. The machine loads straight
3 into the grub shell. From there I can type the root, kernel, and boot
4 commands and get the system booted just fine, but I can't seem to get it
5 to use the grub.conf file. The grub.conf file is located in /boot/grub/
6 and is basically just:
7
8 default 0
9 timeout 10
10
11 title Gentoo
12 root (hd0,0)
13 kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3
14
15 That's it. It works on two of my other systems, but this one makes me
16 type the commands manually. Any ideas? Thanks!
