I've done a new install this evening. The install went OK as far as I |
| 2 |
could tell. I didn't wipe the disk but I did make new file systems |
| 3 |
using mke2fs for both /dev/hda5 and /dev/hda7. I then installed NT in |
| 4 |
/dev/hda0 and finally did Gentoo. The grub-0.97-r5 install seemed to |
| 5 |
go OK, however when I boot I jsut get some grub messages (Stage 1, |
| 6 |
Stage 1.5) and then just |

where the machine sits. Grub auto-completion is working so I type |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
root (hd0,4) |
| 13 |
kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.24-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/hda7 |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
and then |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
boot |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
and at this point the machine boots fine. (Well, except for networking |
| 20 |
but I'll deal with that later. |

I know that grub-0.97-r5 has caused some folks problems over the last |
| 23 |
couple of days. The hard drive in this machine was used in a previous |
| 24 |
dual boot machine so maybe I'm getting burned by the same 0.97-r5 |
| 25 |
things? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
What would cause grub to sit there and wait for me to type in the |
| 28 |
stuff that's in grub.conf anyway? |
