May I ask for help with 3.4?When I try to boot from HD, it says kernel panic, no init found. This is on /dev/hda3 drwxrwxr-x 3 root 0 1024 Jul 3 2007 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root 0 1024 Jul 3 2007 .. drwxrwxr-x 2 root 0 1024 Jul 3 2007 grub -r--r--r-- 1 root 0 994807 Jan 15 03:36 linux24 -r--r--r-- 1 root 0 50478808 Jul 1 14:47 minirt24.gz This is in grub/ drwxrwxr-x 2 root 0 1024 Jul 3 2007 . drwxrwxr-x 3 root 0 1024 Jul 3 2007 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 7508 Apr 9 21:23 e2fs_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 1827 Jul 3 2007 menu.lst -rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 512 Apr 9 21:22 stage1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 105332 Apr 9 21:22 stage2 This is part of menu.lst title DSL root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/linux24 norestore frugal write desktop=jwm initrd /boot/minirt24.gz Posted by curaga on July 03 2007,15:44
Where's the KNOPPIX image? Your install didn't work..No reinstall needed, just copy the KNOPPIX directory from the cd to hda3... Posted by sheldonisaac on July 03 2007,16:47
Thanks, Curaga, but I am still a newbie - I don't understand a lot, eg"dsl-3.4-initrd.iso version has the KNOPPIX image packed in the initial ramdisk. This means it is very easy to setup a PXE DSL server. It also means the entire system always loads into ram. You will need 128MB ram for this version. It will boot as a typical isolinux version and thereby eliminates the scan for the KNOPPIX image" Posted by mikshaw on July 03 2007,18:45
Your kernel and initrd are not in (hd0,2)/boot, although grub is looking for them there.You may need to change menu.lst:
If that doesn't work you might need to create a boot directory on hda3 and put the kernel and initrd in there. Posted by curaga on July 04 2007,08:52
Oh, that's the pxe version.. forget what I said

Thanks for your help - sorry I wasn't clear enough - unlike you, I am only a superficial user.Let me try again. My previous frugal DSL 3.3 was (booted via GRUB) on /dev/hda3, amd I want to have the new one there. I booted Linux, and did mount -t vfat /dev/hdb7 /mnt/eye/ cd /tmp mount -t iso9660 -o loop /mnt/eye/Sources/MiscSors/dsl-3.4-initrd.iso ./ Then /tmp contained a directory called boot , and that contained one called isolinux . And that in turn contained several files, as below. I think you can figure out what is where. So now how do I get a GRUB frugal install to /dev/hda3 ? Thanks much, Sheldon. --------- dr-xr-xr-x 3 root 0 2048 Apr 6 23:11 boot dr-xr-xr-x 2 root 0 2048 Jul 1 14:48 isolinux -r--r--r-- 1 root 0 2048 Jul 1 14:48 boot.cat -r--r--r-- 1 root 0 50478808 Jul 1 14:47 minirt24.gz -r--r--r-- 1 root 0 9404 Jul 1 02:40 isolinux.bin -r--r--r-- 1 root 0 123 Jan 15 03:36 boot.msg -r--r--r-- 1 root 0 1592 Jan 15 03:36 f2 -r--r--r-- 1 root 0 1595 Jan 15 03:36 f3 -r--r--r-- 1 root 0 256 Jan 15 03:36 german.kbd -r--r--r-- 1 root 0 2452 Jan 15 03:36 isolinux.cfg -r--r--r-- 1 root 0 994807 Jan 15 03:36 linux24 -r--r--r-- 1 root 0 33780 Jan 15 03:36 logo.16 Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on July 04 2007,13:54
If you are still booting off hda3's grub, all you have to do is edit your menu.lst as mikshaw suggested.
