Install TC help
« on: April 09, 2010, 04:26:20 PM »
I went by the steps and when i rebooted to see if everything worked, it gives me the grub box with grub>.

Wonder what I did wrong.

Edit - Im doing a reinstall. But this time I get a
"/dev/hda1 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!"
how do i fix that?

Looks like grub can't find its config file.

Is it named correctly? (menu.LST in lowercase)
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

You can unmount it first - "sudo umount /dev/hda1".

quick question

"kernel /boot/bzImage quiet"

is it bzimage or bzlmage?

another one, when in vi, creating my menu.lst when i hit the esc key to get out of insert mode and hit x to save and exit, when i hit x, it will delete a key and doesnt exit.

It's ":x" or ":wq" -- you need to use a colon to enter the write-quit command.

It's bzImage - an "I" in upper case.
