gentoo
Well I downloaded gentoo and started to install last night. Everything seemed fine but I kindof got hung up on 2 parts. Fstab and Grub. I thought I had it right but when I restarted it just came up and said grub and would not do anything.
Ok. First I will give you my partition information
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 14 105808+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 15 81 506520 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 82 3876 28690200 83 Linux
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
next is filesystem info
/dev/hda1 (boot) = ext3
/dev/hda2 (swap) = swap
/dev/hda3 (root) = ReiserFS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| FSTAB |
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It is safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail and tail freely.
# <fs> <mount point> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda3 / ??? noatime 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
Ok, I believe everything i have here is right but I am not sure of the correct setting to put where the ??? are.. The file system is ReiserFS, just not sure what i have to put in there
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| grub |
Ok, I am pretty shure I messed this up.
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|grub.conf|
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok based on the file system and fdisk info that I provided can anyone see what i did wrong here. Just to recap, I go to boot the computer and it just says grub and will not do anything. Also please dont forget to answer what i should replace ??? with in fstab.
Thansk in advance.
