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.

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.)
