Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have mostly completed the installation of a new amd64 laptop. |
| 4 |
(big compile left to complete). |
| 5 |
The system boots if I use the command line option of grub (c): |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
root (hd0,1) |
| 8 |
kernel /kernel-2.6.16-gentoo-r13 |
| 9 |
boot |
| 10 |
<system then boots; Issueing the second command, grub finds the |
| 11 |
kernel with a few characters and a tab> |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The system will not boot from any of the entries I've tried in |
| 15 |
grub.conf: |
| 16 |
Notice I've tried all sorts of partitions for the root=/dev/ entry. |

/dev/hda1 is an unmounted NTFS partition for installing XP at |
| 56 |
a later date. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
I ran 'grub-install /dev/hd0' and the /boot/grub/device.map |
| 59 |
looks like this: |
| 60 |
(fd0) /dev/fd0 |
| 61 |
(hd0) /dev/hda |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
Any ideas what I missed? I pretty much followed the Gentoo Handbook |
| 65 |
for amd64.. |
