You have a separate /boot partition, so you should reference things on |
| 17 |
*that* partition. So your grub.conf should be: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
default=0 |
| 20 |
timeout=30 |
| 21 |
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz |
| 22 |
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.17-r8 |
| 23 |
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2,6,17-gentoo-r8 |
| 24 |
root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda6 udev |
| 25 |
vga=0x318 video=vesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap doscsi |
| 26 |
initrd (hd0,0)/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 |

This is correct if the BIOS is setup to boot from the SATA drive |
| 34 |
before any IDE hard disks. |

I never really liked grub-install. Try: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
cat << EOF | grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map |
| 39 |
root (hd0,0) |
| 40 |
setup (hd0) |
| 41 |
EOF |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
The most important line from the above is one that looks like this: |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+18 p |
| 46 |
(hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeeded |
| 47 |

If you don't see this, post what you do see. |
