Re: [gentoo-user] Whats wrong with my grub.conf

[Heinz Sporn <heinz.sporn@sporn-it.com>]

Hi!

Whenever someone has Grub problems it'd be a good idea to not only post
grub.conf but more importantly infos about the disk layouts (and fstab
to round it up).

In your case there seems to be a couple of things to verify.

I assume that Grub didn't come up with its initial dialog? That usually
means that it couldn't find /boot/grub/grub.conf using it's stage
drivers in /boot/grub.

With root (hd0,1) you force Grub to load an OS from the second partition
of your first physical disk. Does /dev/hda4 reflect this situation?

So in short: you have to tell Grub where to find /boot/grub/grub.conf

But for detailed forensics I'd need more intel.
