The install went OK as far as I could tell. I didn't wipe the disk but I did make new file systems using mke2fs for both /dev/hda5 and /dev/hda7. I then installed NT in /dev/hda0 and finally did Gentoo. The grub-0.97-r5 install seemed to go OK, however when I boot I jsut get some grub messages (Stage 1, Stage 1.5) and then just grub > where the machine sits. Grub auto-completion is working so I type root (hd0,4) kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.24-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/hda7 and then boot and at this point the machine boots fine. (Well, except for networking but I'll deal with that later. I know that grub-0.97-r5 has caused some folks problems over the last couple of days. The hard drive in this machine was used in a previous dual boot machine so maybe I'm getting burned by the same 0.97-r5 things? What would cause grub to sit there and wait for me to type in the stuff that's in grub.conf anyway? Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
