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. |
