Re: [gentoo-user] GRUB on JFS root partition won't boot
Well the kernel should have nothing to do with it as GRUB died before giving me a chance to select which kernel I wanted to boot. Don't know what was up, but things are still stable, and I'm not sure I've ever had to reinstall grub to the MBR once I had it working. I'm not sure if I should try tinkering with it, but just leave it alone and be happy it works.

Before I heard that it just started working again I thought that possibly jfs wasnt compiled into the kernel. but now that it works im not sure what to think On Mon, 2005-02-28 at 08:27 -0600, Keith Gable wrote: > I'm pretty sure your boot partition has to be ext2/ext3.

Re: [gentoo-user] GRUB on JFS root partition won't boot (Magically Solved?)
I can't figure out why, but this problem seems to have magically gone away this morning. About the only difference is that I'm now at work and not home, and my Ethernet cable is not plugged in. All documentation that I've been able to find, says that this will work, and there are stage 1.5's for each of the major filesystems. GRUB needs to be able to read the file system and I assume that it uses the 1.5 stages to house drivers for whatever filesystem it is expected to access. Anyway, not sure what's different, but it seems to be working fine. If it happenes again, I'll try and give more details so other can work around whatever problem I might have bumped into.

I'm pretty sure your boot partition has to be ext2/ext3. HTH.

[gentoo-user] GRUB on JFS root partition won't boot
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 pgpv11I9GFA7e.pgp Description: PGP signature
