If you choose scsi emulation this is a problem, choose a custom setup on vmware and use an ide emulation and repeat the steps. Also I have seen little or no difference running a swap file under vmware. I generally just use one partition and no swap. Also to make it as fast as possible allocate all the space when you create the partition.:)

Hi Jerylin,Excuse me for bothering you. I am new in linux. I met the same problems as you. I use VMWARE with DSL 2.4.ISO to try to install it on Hard Disk. I did have done by following document, but after booting I can't see any thing, only black screen. cfdisk /dev/hda ( I cfdisk four partitions, one is /dev/sda1 (boot), another is /dev/sda2 (/), /dev/sda3 , other is /dev/sda5 (swap) mkswap /dev/sda5 swapon /dev/sda5 dsl-hdinstall ===> choose to put data into /dev/sda3 then rebooting I search on google, but still can't figure out why it can't boot. I tried to do the sam as you, tried to execute mkliloboot, but I can't find mkliloboot. would you please tail me to fix it ? thank you very much. Posted by bruce on June 09 2006,03:45
I have installed DSL 2.4 in my HD.But I can't find the "mkliloboot", I use "dsl-installboot" and I can't use grub to be my boot loader, only can use lilo. Posted by jerylin on June 09 2006,06:03
I am new in linux too,i don't know the differences between grub and lilo.
