What version of DSL?The latest version puts lilo in the partiton not the mbr then you set the partition active. Prior versions used MBR. Also check your partiion table for consistency fdisk -l Posted by sathyan on Feb. 09 2007,05:48
thanks for the reply,my DSL version is 3.0.1 with linux kernal2.4.26 on i486 fdisk -l command result disk /dev/hda: 130MB, 130154496 bytes 8 heads, 32 sectors/track, 993 cylinders units =cylinders of 256*512=131072 bytes device boot start end blocks id system /dev/hda1 * 1 992 126960 b win95 FAT32 if i try GRUB it gives an error while installing..... i tryed DSL Frugal Lilo install but it shows the following error message... Sorry system has not detected a linux partition. you may need to just reboot, so the system can re-read the partition table, or create your partition(s) with cfisk and then reboot. Script is terminating so what can i do...??? thanks... Posted by roberts on Feb. 09 2007,15:13
As instructed by error message, create or change the partition to Linux, type 83 using cfidk or fdisk

thanks for ur help. now its booting...but the DOM(Disk on module) size is only 128MB.... so it says 100% full all the time. i even deleted some applications like firefox,remote desktop, and other applications... but still it says 100% full.... when i run the command df. so i can't save any file or data. why..??? and the process wmswallow takes 90% of my CPU... why...?? but i used kill command to kill that. then its fine. plz help....

Frugal install should only take around 50mb, so I am unsure why your 128mb is all taken up "all the time".

Whst is the cpu?What is the memory? Do you have swap setup? How many extensions and what type(s)? What does df display? What does free display? |
