I've installed grub2 on a single disk system, using |
| 2 |
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Grub2 as a guide. However, when i start |
| 3 |
the system it drops straight to the grub2 command prompt. The system |
| 4 |
has /boot is ext2 on sda1, and / is ext4 on sda3. The grub.cfg seems |
| 5 |
ok to me assuming the --set=root is for a temporary root (since from |
| 6 |
grub's perspective, /boot is /) before the OS loads from the real |
| 7 |
root. |

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### |
| 10 |
menuentry 'Gentoo GNU/Linux' --class gentoo --class gnu-linux --class |
| 11 |
gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-<root's UUID>' { |
| 12 |
load_video |
| 13 |
insmod gzio |
| 14 |
insmod part_msdos |
| 15 |
insmod ext2 |
| 16 |
set root='hd0,msdos1' |
| 17 |
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then |
| 18 |
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root |
| 19 |
--hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos1 |
| 20 |
--hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos1 <boot's UUID> |
| 21 |
else |
| 22 |
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root <boot's UUID> |
| 23 |
fi |
| 24 |
echo 'Loading Linux 3.5.0-gentoo ...' |
| 25 |
linux /vmlinuz-3.5.0-gentoo root=/dev/sda3 ro |
| 26 |
} |
| 27 |

I would have expected it to at least display the menu for a while then |
| 29 |
die when i select a menu item rather than drop to the command prompt |
| 30 |
straight away. |

Have I made some newbie error? |
