Or maybe what it doesn't like is that I > uncommented splashimage=(hd0,6)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz in menu.lst? I got this to work too: # grub grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 grub> root (hd0,6) grub> setup (hd0,6) grub> quit # Why setup didn't get this right via emerge I have no idea, unless it didn't actually do anything toward actually setting Grub up. If so, it could be there was already some mismatched Grub code there already from a previous use of the sectors there that didn't like the file format. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
