Not without knowing at what point the boot fails.
What is the error you're getting, and at what point after selecting the
Gentoo entry?
root (hd1,2)
Filesystem type is ext2fs partition type 0x83
kernel /kernel-2.6.12-r6 root=/dev/sdb2 acpi=off
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1200, size=0x165a46]
(and here it hangs...., no more activity)
A few things look odd to me:
1. Isn't (hd1,2) the same device as /dev/sdb2? It looks like your /boot
and / are the same here...
2. The normal name for the kernel is "vmlinuz-...". You have "kernel-..."
So, which partition actually contains /boot?
How are you switching between grub versions? Important: if you are
changing the disk boot order in the BIOS, you need to remember that grub
always defines (hd0) as the currently booting drive...regardless of the
order of the drives in the system. So you may need to change everything
to be (hd0,X).
Can you get to a grub command line, and do a "find /kernel-2.6.12-r6"?
