Machine was running 1.2 for a while. Switched OS for a month, fdisked and installed 1.4_rc1. Install is fine, but on first reboot, GRUB hangs after finding the kernel. Partition table is: /dev/hda1 ext2 boot /dev/hda2 swap /dev/hda3 ext3 root Last message on screen: root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3 [Linux-bzImage, setup 0x0, size 0x142f93] Then black screen and nothing else. Tried re-installing several times, also tried formatting boot as ext3 on one install. All of them end like this.
unmask grub0.92 and see if it works also, post your /boot/grub/menu.lst file
Ok, needed to do a few things to fix it: + Unmask grub 0.92 + emerge grub + Do this: # mv /boot/grub /boot/grub.save # cp -a /boot/grub.save /boot/grub # rm -f /boot/grub/stage* + run grub install as described in install guide + change menu.lst to grub.conf Fixed.
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
