I am booting to the Gentoo 1.4 CD, then chroot please keep in mind alot of this stuff is somewhat over my head so if i dont make sense, ask again and i'll do my best to clarify
I am not running grub-install but I can only assume that "emerge" the gentoo package tool IS. I have had several people look at my menu.lst and grub.conf and fstab and fdisk etc.etc. and i think we are in agreement that that stuff is ok now. but still all I get is GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB I am compiling with emerge, it downloads source and compiles it from an ".ebuild" script, best as i understand it. I have tried .90 and .92 with same results. Like i said, at first my CFLAGS was "-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" first I removed the -O3 and tried again. Then I also removed the march part leaving only "-pipe" still none of these options work.. including stripping the machine bare. also this guy on #gentoo has the same mobo as me so i guess we rule that out. The ebuild release is .90r7 i beileve, also we have tried .92 thanks!! On Wed, 2002-10-02 at 06:18, Titus Winters wrote: > Uh . . hmm.
