Do you have ANY kernel that does boot on this system? If so, or even if not, |
| 15 |
post a copy of your entire grub.conf, and your /etc/fstab file, so we can see |
| 16 |
how your system partitions are set up. Is there an error message, like error |
| 17 |
17, or some other number? |
| 18 |

I think your (hd0,2) and root=dev/hd2 are probably wrong. |

If you installed Gentoo following the Docs, your /boot should be hda1, swap |
| 22 |
hda2, and / hda3. |
| 23 |
Your grub should be installed on the MBR, and grub.conf should look something |
| 24 |
like this, set up with no splash framebuffer: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
title=[Evo-2.6.16-beyond1] |
| 27 |
root (hd0,0) |
| 28 |
kernel /boot/2.6.16-beyond1 root=/dev/hda3 |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
With a splash framebuffer, something like this: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
title=Gentoo [Evolution-Mission] |
| 33 |
root (hd0,0) # boot partition |
| 34 |
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-archck root=/dev/hda3 |
| 35 |
video=vesafb:1024x768-16@72,mtrr,ywrap splash=silent,fadein,theme:default |
| 36 |
quiet console=tty1 |
| 37 |
initrd (hd0,0)/fbsplash-default |
| 38 |
