Hello All, I just put together a fresh Gentoo System on my laptop. This is the 5th-6th (starting to lose count) system that I've set up from stage1 and I think I've finally got it all down. I decided to try JFS instead of ext3 and all is fine except that I can't boot with GRUB.
I get # GRUB Loading stage1.5. # # # GRUB loading, please wait... and then it goes out to lunch. I can still get into the system by using a KANOTIX live-cd (knoppix derivative) that uses grub. Then manually boot with "kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.6.10 vga=791" and the system is doing rather well. So.. things work if I use grub exterally, but not from the MBR. I'd really like to avoid making an ext2/3 partition to house grub if I can. Any ideas? Dave
