Shouldn't it be root(hd0,0) to point it to the hda1 > partition? I could easily be wrong but that is what I would try. actually the above is what I tried first, the last few attempts have been: root(hd0,0) After I made that change, I even reemerged grub and even used the grub shell...... It's dame frustrating........ The i586 has been orphaned, and it's a dam shame because lots of them are cheap and they make a good firewall.... When I finally get it to work, I'm going to dd off the entire install and just dd the firewalls in the future to get a working i586 firewall.... Somehow, someway, the devs need to fix this install nightmare. It's not just me, if you google, that what tons of folks say about gentoo. Nightmare installation, easy to upgrade and maintain..... I'm about ready to just use another distro to bootstrap the install. There has to be an easier method.... James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
