Re: GRUB GRUB GRUB etc

[Titus Winters]

Well, emerge might not be actually setting your computer up to use
the newly compiled GRUB as your bootloader.  (Possibly, I'm not a
gentoo user.)  Try running

# /usr/local/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda

or

# /usr/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda 

(depending on where the script gets installed to.)

Then cross your fingers, reboot, and give it a shot.
