Re: [gentoo-user] grub misfires?
If your hda2 is /boot, then the path to the kernel should be just vmlinuz, without the /boot/. Done. Didn't work. Same error. I suspect you have a boot symlink in /boot to .

Your output from the setup command may vary slightly, but it should not find anything in /boot/grub/ Do I just delete it then? lilo has lilo -U to remove boot, can grub do similar? Also, what, if any, is the connection between install mentioned in grub setup and grub-install, the command. I noticed it didn't re-write grub.conf, had to do that manually. Does one still need to run grub-install *after* grub setup. __ Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!

There's lots of advice on the web but nothing works so far. So far changed the boot order in the BIOS. grub-installed to every available partition. Toggled the bootable flag w/ fdisk.

If your hda2 is /boot, then the path to the kernel should be just vmlinuz, without the /boot/. I suspect you have a boot symlink in /boot to . For some filesystems, this causes a problem.

When rebooting(used the CD to boot and chroot) a red flagged error flashes by: Failed to shut LVM down. This is not really a problemit usually just means that some filesystem (or swap) on an LVM physical volume is still in use. As long as the filesystem gets remounted read-only, things are safe. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
