Ok, quick comparison to my results... grub> root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 grub> setup (hd0) Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... yes Checking if "/grub/stage2" exists... yes Checking if "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes Running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 16 sectors are embedded. succeeded Running "install /grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,0)/grub/stage2 /grub/menu.lst"... succeeded Done. Hmm, this is weird. My e2fs_stage1_5 takes 16 sectors, but yours takes 22....that doesn't seem right. I could understand a 1 or 2 sector difference if we are using different versions of grub. Let's compare grub versions and stage files: carcharias rjf # qpkg -I -v grub sys-boot/grub-0.96-r1 * carcharias rjf # ls -l /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 /boot/grub/stage2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8052 Apr 22 02:07 /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 Apr 22 02:07 /boot/grub/stage1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 105576 Apr 22 02:07 /boot/grub/stage2 carcharias rjf # md5sum /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 /boot/grub/stage2 fec478948a06cc1fb7339a2cd3e26663 /boot/grub/stage1 96451f2a81e2cbf4d1c41cf4b61787e0 /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 d69594a75e5b72df86f03df6d5d7fbd3 /boot/grub/stage2 Also, how did you format /boot? Could you post the output of "dumpe2fs -h /dev/hda2"? -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
