I installed twice, and I /did/ have a /mnt/gentoo/boot/boot/grub directory, and both times grub would not install. With the same error each time. The fact that the error was trying /boot/grub/stage1 and not /boot/boot/grub/stage1 was the only reason I tried the symlink. Everything you state, is what I did, with /mnt/gentoo/boot being the mount, etc. So, am not sure why grub did not like it. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Robbins [mailto:drobbins@gentoo.org] Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 12:26 PM To: gentoo-dev@cvs.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: Problems with initial gentoo rc5 binary inst all - GRUB On Wed, Jul 18, 2001 at 09:59:32AM -0500, Greer, Darren (MED) wrote: > Ok, thinking I must have screwed something up...I re-did the entire > install, making sure I did it exactly as documented, and I get the same > exact error: > > grub> root (hd0,0) > Filesystem type is reiserfs, partition type 0x83 > > grub> setup (hd0) > Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no > Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no > > Error 15: File not found When you installed Gentoo Linux, your boot partition should have been mounted at /mnt/gentoo/boot. I don't know what you're talking about with this symlink hack that you keep mentioning; all I can say it that any "fixes" of this sort are not required. Once Gentoo Linux is installed from the install CD, you should have a /mnt/gentoo/boot/boot/grub directory. Please note that "boot/boot" *is* correct and shouldn't be changed at all. As long as you had your reiserfs boot partition mounted at /mnt/gentoo/boot, all should be well. -- Daniel Robbins President/CEO http://www.gentoo.org Gentoo Technologies, Inc. _______________________________________________ gentoo-dev mailing list gentoo-dev@cvs.gentoo.org http://cvs.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-dev
