Gnome and Xorg is not working on Gentoo

[Aerona]

Well I have installed Gentoo on the system of mine. I have setup the grub on the computer of mine and I have got the following error message on the screen.

booting 'Gentoo Linux 2.6.24-r5'
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.36-gentoo-r5 root =/dev/sda3 init=/bin/bb
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3c2c80]
initrd /boot/initramfs-kernel-2.6.36-gentoo-r5
Error 15: File not found

Press any key to continue..._

Let me know how can I resolve this particular error which I am getting on the computer of yours. Thanks a lot in advance.

Looking at the situation which you have mentioned over here I want to know about the hardware configuration of the computer of yours? Can you tell me which version of the Gentoo do you have installed on the computer? Also I am suggesting following command which you should execute on the computer of yours and post the output of the same.

ls -l /boot
emerge –info

so post your feedback as early as possible so that I can let you know about the possible solution to fix the matter of yours.

I am suggesting following thing which you should try and see whether it is working or not. You have to boot the CD and you have to mount the Gentoo partitions and you need to enter into the chroot.

emerge wgetpaste 
ls -l /boot | wgetpaste 
emerge --info | wgetpaste 
mount | wgetpaste 
fdisk -l | wgetpaste 
wgetpaste /boot/grub/grub.conf 
wgetpaste /etc/fstab

So you should try the same and let me know about the results.

I am suspecting that the error message is prompted from the Grub. You need see that the Grub is loading the kernel. You need to run following piece of code which you can use to fix the matter of yours.

kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.36-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/sda3 
# initrd /boot/initramfs-kernel-2.6.36-gentoo-r5

I am sure that after using the above mentioned command you will not get the error message which you are getting on the computer.

[windows_user]

Another solution which you should give a try and let me know the results of the same. You should boot the computer using the live CD and run the following command.

cd /usr/src/linux;make menuconfig

then you have to edit the kernel config.

File systems ---> 
<*> Second extended fs support [*] Ext2 extended attributes [*] Ext2 POSIX Access Control Lists [*] Ext2 Security Labels

You have to recompile and recopy the kernel and see whether any difference in the situation.

I was having the same problem which you have mentioned over here. Well I have managed to fix the matter of mine and I wanted to share the experience of yours.

eselect profile list

Then you should execute the below mentioned command.

eselect profile set default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/gnome

finally run the following command.

emerge -uND gnome

You have to check the following thing by using the below mentioned command.

1. eselect python list

2. you have to see that 2.x is selected than that of 3.x.
3. to select the desire version you have to use the following command

4. eselect python set #

5. Here # is the number which you can enter over here.
