The stage1.5 is really a minimal stage2...it is supposed to contain just enough code to decipher the filesystem and locate the real stage2. So, here comes the "bad" news. If you do anything that moves, updates, or restores the stage2 file, you *must* run those setup instructions again. This is because the location of the stage2 is now block-mapped into the stage1. In fact, you might want to "chattr +i /boot/grub/stage2", update package.mask to exclude new versions of grub, etc... -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
