Grub installation
« on: March 31, 2009, 04:35:11 PM »
Hi,

I'm new with TC and not much experienced with linux distros other than ubuntu.
I was able to load modules to get my ethernet card to work and I have access to the TCE and TCZ repositories.
The point is, when I follow the tutorial to install TC everything goes fine untill I have to setup grub. Here is what happens:
    GNU GRUB  version 0.97  (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)

           [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.   For
              the   first   word,  TAB  lists  possible  command
              completions.  Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
               completions of a device/filename. ]

               grub> root (hd0,1)
               Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
               grub> setup (hd0)
               Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
               Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no

               Error 15: File not found

               grub>

I'm installing grub in a sata disk. The mount point is /mnt/sda2.

Thanks in advance :)

Did you do the first step of part 6?

Quote
cp -p /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/* /mnt/sda2/boot/grub/
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

I got the exact same error.
Only I made sure I performed all the steps in the installation guide (http://www.tinycorelinux.com/install.html).

I'm trying to install to a regular harddrive on the first ide channel being master.

Are you copying "bzImage" with a capital i ?
