Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
After a few solved problems, I am still unable to completely boot using |
| 4 |
grub:2, and now I just can't find anything else to fiddle with. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
So I would really appreciate if someone could take a look at my |
| 7 |
configuration: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
- system is amd64; |
| 10 |
- hard disk partitioning: |
| 11 |
- two first primary partitions, unused (for now); |
| 12 |
- third (/dev/sda3) is /boot partition, kernel built and in place; |
| 13 |
- extended partition as fourth partition; |
| 14 |
- logical partition (/dev/sda5) is "/" linux partition, ext4 formated; |
| 15 |
- emerged the following, before building kernel; |
| 16 |
- genkernel ; |
| 17 |
- media-gfx/splashutils-1.5.4.4-r1; |
| 18 |
- media-gfx/splash-themes-gentoo-20101212-r1 ; |
| 19 |
- sys-apps/v86d-0.1.10; |
| 20 |
- genkernel command line: |
| 21 |
genkernel all \ |
| 22 |
--color --menuconfig --splash=natural_gentoo \ |
| 23 |
--splash-res=1024x768,1280x1024,1366x768,1440x900 \ |
| 24 |
--mountboot --install --unionfs --real-root=/dev/sda5 \ |
| 25 |
--ramdisk-modules --postclear |
| 26 |
- kernel built with: |
| 27 |
- CONFIG_FB_UVESA=y |
| 28 |
- CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="/usr/share/v86d/initramfs" |
| 29 |
- CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y |
| 30 |
- CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=y |
| 31 |
- CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY=y |
| 32 |
- grub2 defaults (/etc/defaults/grub2) only difference from original: |
| 33 |
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/sda5 |
| 34 |
video=uvesafb,mtrr:3,ywrap splash=silent,fadein,theme:natural_gentoo |
| 35 |
nodevfs udev devfs=nomount CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 quiet" |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
- sample extract from grub:0 config file, used in a working (a bit older) |
| 38 |
system: |
| 39 |
title=Gentoo Linux (3.8.13-gentoo) |
| 40 |
root (hd0,1) |
| 41 |
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.8.13-gentoo ro root=/dev/ram0 \ |
| 42 |
init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/sda4 vga=791 |
| 43 |
splash=silent,theme:natural_gentoo \ |
| 44 |
console=tty1 verbose nodevfs udev devfs=nomount CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 |
| 45 |
quiet |
| 46 |
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-3.8.13-gentoo |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Now the boot stops showing the messages (after the Tux logos appeared): |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Can't open cfg file //etc/splash/natural_gentoo/640x480.cfg |
| 52 |
No verbose picture specified in the theme |
| 53 |
No silent picture specified in the theme |
| 54 |
No verbose picture specified in the theme |
| 55 |
Can't open cfg file //etc/splash/natural_gentoo/640x480.cfg |
| 56 |
No verbose picture specified in the theme |
| 57 |
No silent picture specified in the theme |
| 58 |
!! Block device /dev/sda5 is not a valid root device |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
The last line explains the ones preceding it. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Any hints on where to look at? |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Thanks |
