/boot. sda2 should be /. sda3 should be swap. (I setup the partitions manually, not with the auto configure)So, I just mounted /dev/sda1 in archlive, and grub/menu.lst contains this:root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/3525ec64-d3dc-4bec-b9d2-172633f4a3a4 ro

I know it has to be something small...Also, a side question, why format /boot as ext2 instead of say something like ext3? What does ext2 have over ext3?♦ Last edited by Ek0nomik (2008-10-03 22:06:19) Offline #2 2008-10-03 18:30:26 Ek0nomik Member error 15 file not found grub windows 7 From: Wisconsin Registered: 2008-05-01 Posts: 7 Re: [SOLVED] Grub Error 15: File Not Found One more thing, when I go into grub and type:root (hd0,0)and root (hd0,1)they both return the same thing:Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83.Since one is ext2, and the other ext3, shouldn't it say something different?

Grub sees both as ext2.As to the problem at hand: If the UUID points to your boot partition there is no need to have /boot in front of the kernel/initrd. This makes it look for a /boot directory inside of the /boot partition, which obviously doesn't exist.So it should just read:root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/3525ec64-d3dc-4bec-b9d2-172633f4a3a4 ro initrd /kernel26.img Last edited by SkonesMickLoud (2008-10-03 19:14:29) Offline #4 2008-10-03 22:05:08 Ek0nomik Member From: Wisconsin Registered: 2008-05-01 Posts: 7 Re: [SOLVED] Grub Error 15: File Not Found Aha.

I'm running this existing distro (Ubuntu) from /dev/sdb with a new OS, Gentoo, installed on /dev/sda. I'm glad I took the trouble of setting these up on different disks because I can't boot into the new OS. All I get is grub error 15 "File not found". It also gives the UUID which I have verified is correct: sudo blkid /dev/sda1: LABEL="boot" UUID="b891774a-0b2d-4ab4-bcfa-23a11a97cae5" TYPE="ext2" /dev/sda2: UUID="fc34999a-e85d-4c7b-8775-30510eb4c396" TYPE="swap" /dev/sda3: LABEL="main" UUID="65a90a0d-a651-4215-8552-0c1859ab61dd" TYPE="ext4" The menu.lst (on /dev/sdb) for the new OS is title Gentoo Linux 3.10.7-r1 uuid b891774a-0b2d-4ab4-bcfa-23a11a97cae5 #root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-3.10.7-gentoo root=UUID=65a90a0d-a651-4215-8552-0c1859ab61dd I also tried kernel /boot/kernel-3.10.7-gentoo root=UUID=65a90a0d-a651-4215-8552-0c1859ab61dd but since the UUID goes directly to the boot partition I think this is wrong. The kernel should be correct; if I mount dev/sda1 and ls I see grub kernel-3.10.7-gentoo Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? It might be very basic; I've only been using Linux for a few years and never Gentoo except for a few days in a chroot. I should mention I also have g
