here is sample grub.conf

Hi Pankaj:

Sample entry in grub.conf would look like

title=gentoo linux
root (sd0,2)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r8  root=/dev/sda6

Grub would need to locate the stage 2 on the file system to proceed with the boot up process. It's impossible that /boot would be missing !

Can you please share the output of the following command -

/sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda

Can you please confirm whether you are running a Volume manager ie. lvm2 or evms ?

thanks
Saifi
