Something Went Wrong!!!

GRUB

In the "Installing Gentoo" in the forums they have a "Grub Error Collection but I will give you a quick few.
  • Error 17. No Such File Or Direectory
Oops, you have the wrong kernel= line. When you boot up press "e" on the kernel line. Delete until you see this (The second line is just for reference on how it looked before.): kernel /boot/ kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.31-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/sdc3now press tab and it should give you a list of avaliable kernels so you can boot up on one and then change it while you are in your Gentoo. This also works for the root= argument.
  • Some of my programs just aren't starting!
Just try and run them from the command line, that should spit out an error. Most likely an install has broken some linking, run revdep-rebuild and it should fix whatever is wrong.
