try "boot" then press <TAB> to see if tab completion via grub lists the name of your kernel. It may if the previous ubuntu install and the new gentoo install have the same partitioning scheme. you could then do "boot kernelname". If you built your kernel with genkernel and not manually, it would require an initrd so the boot will probably stop. you'd have to make an initrd line. With grub installed on the bootblock, you can definitely manually boot the installed OS, but I'm thinking you need some advanced grub expertise while you're doing it and back and forth email aint going to cut it. By the way, this is the first time you've mentioned you had a previous linux install on the disk that I've noticed. It would've helped to know that, actually. > Should I be booting to the CD? That may be easier in this case. boot the CD. mount the hdd partitions as you would doing a new install. chroot into your gentoo install just like you were doing a new install. skip over all the stage1-stage3 and kernel building stuff. redo the grub bits as described in the docs and reboot. -- Scott Harney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Asking the wrong questions is the leading cause of wrong answers" gpg key fingerprint=7125 0BD3 8EC4 08D7 321D CEE9 F024 7DA6 0BC7 94E5
