Problems with Grub (i think)

Okay i installed gentoo using the universal cd for my 754 system.
I followed instructions to the T using the livecd docs and of course compensated for any minor partition changes and etc.

I never got any errors on anything.. and after i emerged grub, config'd and "installed" i'm just get'n going to a blank screen after post. i dont
see the grub menu at all.

now my partitions are setup as /dev/hda
/dev/hda1 - windows partition
/dev/hda2 - linux swap
/dev/hda3 - linux /

i dont have a seperate partition for boot, but i adjusted settings on setup accordingly.

now my grub.conf is as follows.

can anyone tell me if my grub.conf looks correct?

Change the kernel line to read /boot/kernel ... instead of /kernel ...

Even if you don't have a separate partition for boot, you should still have a directory in / for boot.

That shouldn't prevent you from getting a grub menu though. Do you have a file grub.conf (or menu.lst) in /boot/grub? You should.

Also, did you install grub to hd0 using grub-install?

NM, thanks, finally got it up and running great.. had to wipe and start again though.. i've read this is the case a lot of times with gentoo first time installs though.

I'm glad you got it worked out. I ususally have a seperate /boot partition that is almost never mounted. It helps keep me from accidently messing up my grub config or deleting my kernel.
