Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
I've been using my computer for awhile and decided to upgrade to gentoo |
4 |
2005.1. Since there is nothing important on this system I decide to |
5 |
install from scratch. I follow the quickinstall howto and reference the |
6 |
installation manual for 2005.1 and my own notes, as I've installed |
7 |
perhaps 8 or so gentoo systems. |
8 |
|
9 |
I'm using the Universal 2005.1 live CDROM. |
10 |
|
11 |
Everything proceeds well, including installing grub, setting up |
12 |
grub.conf and running grub-install, and when I'm finished I exit |
13 |
the chroot environment, umount my root and boot partitions, and reboot. |
14 |
|
15 |
It fails, with the dreaded message " Disk Boot Failure, Insert System |
16 |
Disk And Press Enter". |
17 |
|
18 |
I boot the live CD again, double check my grub.conf file, run |
19 |
grub-install again, check with fdisk that my boot partition is bootable, |
20 |
and try again. Same result. |
21 |
|
22 |
I'm mystified. I've been using this computer for developing systems over |
23 |
the past few months and have rebooted it many, many times, with no |
24 |
difficulty. |
25 |
|
26 |
I figure it's failing very early if I'm not even getting into grub. |
27 |
|
28 |
Any ideas? Any suggestions for what to test, inspect, try? |
29 |

Thanks, |
