I did a hard disk install. Got no errors.It is a 2 Gb hard disk, hda.
DSL is installed on /dev/hda1, 1873 Mbs
/dev/hda2 is a linux swap partition, 72 Mbs
/dev/hda3 is a FAT32 partition, 55 Mbs
Did a reboot.
I get a Grub - Error 15: file not found
the menu.lst file contains:
| Code Sample |
| # This sets the default entry to boot. # Remember that GRUB counts from 0, so 1 is the second entry. default 0 # This sets the length of time in seconds that grub will wait for the user to select an OS # before it boots the default on. I reccommend at least 15 seconds. timeout 15 # Enter the entry for DSL here. Something like this. title DSL kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=normal noacpi noapm nodma noscsi frugal title DSL fb800x600 kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=788 noacpi noapm nodma noscsi frugal title DSL fb1024x768 kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=791 noacpi noapm nodma noscsi frugal title DSL fb1280x1024 kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=794 noacpi noapm nodma noscsi frugal #title DSL with toram, mydsl, restore, hostname, and passwords #kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=normal noacpi noapm noscsi frugal dma toram mydsl=hda5 restore=hda5 host=DSL1 secure #title DSL with XFree86 #kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=normal noacpi noapm noscsi frugal dma toram mydsl=hda5/xfree restore=hda6 host=DSL1 secure #title DSL with mydsl, restore, persistentancy, hostname, and passwords #kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=normal noacpi noapm noscsi frugal dma toram mydsl=hda3 restore=hda3 home=hda3 opt=hda3 host=DSL1 secure #title DSL Runlevel 2 #kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=normal noacpi noapm noscsi nodma frugal 2 base norestore #title Windows #root (hd0,0) #chainloader +1 #makeactive #boot |
and the device.map contain:
| Code Sample |
| (hd0) /dev/hda (hd1) /dev/hdb (hd2) /dev/hdc (hd3) /dev/hdd (hd4) /dev/hde (hd5) /dev/hdf |
How do I fix this Error 15?

menu.lst should be like this:-| Code Sample |
| title DSL fb1024x768 kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=791 noacpi noapm nodma noscsi frugal initrd /boot/minirt24.gz |
You can add initrd /boot/minirt24.gz manually, but please make sure that you have linux24 and minirt24.gz in /hda1/boot

Thanks. That worked.But I am wondering why - linux24 and minirt24.gz
were NOT present in /hda1/boot ?
So I put both these files in /hda1/boot.
(The hd install did not give any errors or warnings.)
