The grub.conf file that I entered is as follows:
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Genoo Linux 2.6.12-r6
root (hda0, 1)
kernel /kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/ram0 init=linuxrc
ramdisk=8192
real_root=/dev/hda5 udev
initrd /initrd-2.6.12-gentoo-r6
I haven't tried booting with a RAM disk, so I can't comment on the
other lines, but in the first there should be no space after the comma.
IE:
root (hda0,1)
as you've done correctly below:
title=DOS
root (hda0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
...
Is there a way to fix the grub.conf file?
I always do so by booting from the Gentoo LiveCD, mounting /dev/hda2 to
/mount/gentoo, editing grub.conf with `nano` and then rebooting. You
can experiment amply like this until you get it right.
