swap is 258MB, /boot is about 24MB, / is rest of disk which is 10GB
Should I post output of echo -ne "p\nq\n" | fdisk /dev/hda?
device map:
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/hda
grub.conf:
-------------------------------------------------------
#
# Sample boot menu configuration file
#
#root (hd0,1)
# Boot automatically after 30 secs.
timeout 30
# By default, boot the first entry.
default 0
# Fallback to the second entry.
#fallback 1
# For booting GNU/Linux
title Gentoo
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda2
#initrd /initrd.img
------------------------------------------------------------
It doesn't matter which partition layout it is or grub.conf exist it
still doesn't work.
When you start grub from command line as root it shows how much memory
it detected. In my case it shows only zeros like this:
------------------------------------------------------------
GNU GRUB version 0.96 (0K lower / 0K upper memory)
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename. ]
-------------------------------------------------------------
After this it halts and only reset works. I can't type anything or
reset by ALT+CTRL+DEL.
- Lilo works just fine so I can tar my filesystem to disk on USB and
change partition scheme.
- No option on BIOS about memory.
- Laptop (hp pavilion n3390)
And again - what am I doing wrong?
