Subject: Re: [gentoo-amd64] /dev/hda1 won't mount from grub
Here's my conf, the kernel is a 'ln -s' to /boot/bzimage.
I don't think grub reads symbolic links (corrections welcome)
bzimage would likely be a typo of bzImage

kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/hda3
did ls-l output contain a real file, not link, named
kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r7? for this grub to work, it should
assuming you ran make for your new kernel in /usr/src/linux
after checking that:
ls -l /usr/src/linux
output showed:
/usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r7
run:
cd /usr/src/linux
cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r7
cp .config /boot/config--2.6.15-gentoo-r7
when it trys to boot it immediatley gives an
error
complaining it can't mount '/dev/hda1`. I then goto'c'
on grub and 'kernel
bzimage' then 'boot' it boots.
did ls-l output contain a real file, not link, named
bzImage or bzimage? I think you had some form of bzimage
listed in grub back when; if it is still there you are probably
manually booting the old kernel
