I finally was able to reboot.
Grub came up with
"Gentoo Linux 2.4.22"
I pressed "enter"
the machine restarts and Grub comes up again.
hda1 is /boot
hda2 is /swap
hda3 is (compaq setup)
hda4 is /
Grub has
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hda0,0)/kernel-2.4.22 root=/dev/hda vga=788
BUT, I made a mistake "root=/dev/hda3" should be root=/dev/hda4
I did "e" to edit and changed the "3" to a "4"
I did a "b" to boot it does the same thing.
I did "a" to edit and changed the "3" to a "4"
I did a "b" to boot it does the same thing.
I've changed everything I could think of to get this to boot but it will
not get past Grub
First this has taken all weekend to build I've followed the instructions
to the letter.
Second if I didn't know about something I asked "before" I continued.
Third I'm a bit frazzled now...
Sam.
