Grub not working after Frugal-InstallForum: DSL Tips and Tricks Topic: Grub not working after Frugal-Install started by: eeffoC Posted by eeffoC on Jan. 16 2007,14:36
Hi!As I saw several threads in the last time (including my own) about problems with Grub after frugal install I want to post my solution here now. Problem: The Installation of Frugal-GRUB using the Install-Script works fine but when trying to boot from the CF-Card / HD Drive the System hangs with message "Grub" and a blinking cursor. How to solve: - Boot up DSL From LiveCD or Pendrive again - Mount your CF Card or Hard Drive where you did the Frugal Install and there - Go to /boot/grub and edit "device.map" so there will be only one entry left. For me it was (hd0) /dev/hdc You will have to modify it to your needs, ie when you installed to hda use "(hd0) /dev/hda" - Now reinstall GRUB with the command grub-install /dev/hdc --root-directory=/mnt/hdc1 Again you will have to modify the command to your needs... If the Grub-Install-Script finishs without errors your frugal should boot correctly now... Hope this thread might be of some help! Jan |
