Hi, |
| 2 |
|

At the moment I'm trying to upgrade one of my old computers from SuSE to |
| 4 |
Gentoo. I have install a second SCSI-disk and installed Gentoo on this second |
| 5 |
disk using a stage-1 install. But when I try to boot my new install GRUB |
| 6 |
hangs (kernel does not uncompress) after I have selected the kernel. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
This is the output from grub after selecting my gentoo setup. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
root (hd1,2) |
| 11 |
Filesystem type is ext2fs partition type 0x83 |
| 12 |
kernel /kernel-2.6.12-r6 root=/dev/sdb2 acpi=off |
| 13 |
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1200, size=0x165a46] |
| 14 |
(and here it hangs....) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I have installed grub to MBR of the first SCSI-disk (sda) and I'm having my |
| 17 |
grub files on sdb3. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Here's my grub.conf file: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
# By default, boot the first entry. |
| 22 |
default 0 |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
# By default boot the old SuSE (until Gentoo boots OK) |
| 25 |
title SuSE |
| 26 |
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 acpi=off splash=silent |
| 27 |
showopts |
| 28 |
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
# For booting Gentoo 2.6.12-r6 |
| 31 |
title Gentoo 2.6.12-r6 |
| 32 |
root (hd1,2) |
| 33 |
kernel /kernel-2.6.12-r6 root=/dev/sdb2 acpi=off |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
The second SCSI-disk (Gentoo) has the following partitions: |
| 36 |
/dev/sdb1 swap |
| 37 |
/dev/sdb2 / |
| 38 |
/dev/sdb3 /boot |
| 39 |
/dev/sdb4 LVM |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
The Kernel is compiled without Module support and all necessary drivers are |
| 42 |
compiled into the kernel. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Booting the old SuSE installation works without problems but Gentoo does not. |
| 45 |
Any suggestions on what could be wrong? |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Regards, |
| 48 |
