Description Eduardo R E 2002-11-09 09:18:46 UTC
Hello!

Well, I'm using Gentoo 1.2, and the latest portage version of grub.

I had Linux and Windows, in (hd0,4) and (hd0,0) respectively, and grub went very
well. But I had to reinstall windows, and because Windows remove anything from
the MBR that isn't from Windows, I had to reinstall grub in the MBR, I type in
my shell:

# grub
grub > root (hd0,4)
grub > setup (hd0)


It gave no error, so I rebooted the system. But now instead of showing the
beautiful gentoo grub screen, grub says:

Grub loading stage1.5.

Grub loading, please wait....

And shows no more, no error given!. It remains like that infinitely (at least
all the time I could be waiting ). About first 20 seconds the hard disk led is on,
and after it stop shining.

So I'm ussing the grub recue floppy for booting Linux and Windows.

¿Can someone help me?

My apologies for my bad english, a Spanish young guy.

try emerging grub 0.92 and re-running the grub stuff 
Comment 3 Eduardo R E 2002-11-11 10:52:42 UTC
You were right!

I had grub 0.90, so I installed the last masked version, 0.92r1, ran the commands 

# grub

grub > root (hd0,4)
grub > setup (hd0)
grub > quit

and it now function as well as always!

Thanks you ;-)

Bug finished I think.
