I also have the same problem installing 1.4_rc1- my configuration is:

two IDE channels on the motherboard; 1st channel is empty, CD-ROM on second 
channel master, CD-RW on second channel slave

Maxtor IDE controller, with two channels - 1st channel master is 160 GB maxtor 
drive, slave is old IDE drive, 2nd channel empty.

I believe that the first drive on the external controler is hd0 (1st non-CD IDE 
device); I have three partitions on it:
/dev/hde1 is a FAT32 partition
/dev/hde2 is a reiserfs partition
/dev/hde3 is a swap partition.

This is the output I get:

grub> root (hd0,1)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x83

grub> setup (hd0)

Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition.

Summary:  Touble installing Grub under Gentoo 1.4_rc1

Original Submission:  I used to have done a 'fdisk /mbr' with a bootable 
windows floppy. So I can have a fresh mbr to write on. With the fresh install 
when I get to installing grub it doesn't work... I am using an ReiserFS for 
both the /boot and / partitions. 
 
I am using a 7200 rpm IDE hard drive if that helps.

Here is the error I get

grub> root (hd0,0)
  Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x83

grub> setup (hd0)

Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition.

I don't whats wrong w/ it or if I did something wrong.


thanks
