Problems after rebooting after Grub install

**lokoalex** · 02-23-2005

Why am I getting a message after I reboot and chose my my OS that says:

Code:

mtrr&#58; size and base must be multiples of 4 kiB

what do you have in your grub.conf file?

post the whole of the gentoo section.

Code:

default 0
timeout 30

splashimage=&#40;hd0,0&#41;/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.10-r6
root &#40;hd0,0&#41;
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 boot=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3 vga=791
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.10-gentoo-r6

I don't know if this is what's causing the problem, but try taking out all that stuff on the end of the kernel line, and try booting without the initrd.

I just read that there is a bug in that kernel. Does anyone know if the bug is fixed? Or how I can use a different kernel. I cant get the program to load up, what should I do to install an older kernel version?

The bug had to do with lba mode, which doesn't seem to be the problem here.

I removed initrd and that did nothing. What do you guys recommend? Im still getting that message.

I got it to work. Someone told me it had to do with frambuffer so I turned off framebuffer support in the kernel options. And it works fine.
