| Quote (gregc @ Mar. 28 2007,23:44) | After successfully running DSL on my thinkpad Celeron 700 128 ram I decided to use the Toram option but found it difficult to achieve until I found out Lilo gives the Toram option while setting up the install-solving my first problem.
However, after reinstalled with Lilo with Toram I now have this problem.
Booting only just starts then I get this :
GRUB loading,please wait........
ERROR 15
It would seem like it wants to load grub even though I did a LILO install.
Can anyone help -Ive been all day on this. |
You have the same options available in GRUB if you enter the cheatcode(s) when you boot to install OR if you add it when you do the installation OR afterward. Did you miss that in all of the stuff you read? It's there. If you did miss it, all you had to do was add the FIVE little letters -- "toram" -- to one little line in your GRUB menu.list I told you to add (and didn't someone else tell you to edit that in the other day?) and everything would've been okay. I even showed you the part in the other thread you needed to change. Why did you try to reinstall when there was nothing wrong with it before?
Okay, since you were all trigger happy you now have GRUB in your MBR and that's conflicting with LILO. If you want to use LILO (which isn't as easy to "fix" either now or down the road), you'll first have to clear GRUB from your MBR. Then you'll have to do your LILO manually.
1. Remove GRUB:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/DRIVE bs=446 count=1
Where drive is hda or whatever your hard drive is. That's the easy part.
2. Now you can reinstall LILO. For that, you're on your own unless someone else wants to walk you through it.

Or you can just clear out as in step 1, reinstall (again!) with GRUB, add five letters to menu.list, and if you don't like that option -- or want to mess around with others -- you can change it around however you want by re-editing menu.list without having to keep running LILO again and again.
But it's your choice. Whatever you decide, have fun.
