Hello everyone,
Don't you just hate it when you repair the mistakes
and it STILL don't work.
I rebooted the 2005.0 install CD in full expectation
of fixing the problem at last. I made the corrections
suggested by the list(R.Price & R.Fish)and rebooted.
I was convinced the biggest mistake was entering
#mount /dev/hda2 /boot
rather than
#mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/gentoo/boot
before doing a chroot.
But there must be a bigger one; boot still hangs at
Grub loading stage 1.5, please wait...
To recap, here's grub.conf:
default 0
timeout 30
title=Gentoo
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda4 #not /boot/vmlinuz
title=WinXP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
I left out the splashscreen; that's optional isn't it?
I removed the boot symlink, and
grub> setup (hd0)
did *not* find anything in /boot/grub.
