Tiny core Problem z instalacja.

[jacej6490]

Witam zainstalowalem tiny core wedlug tej instrukcji http://www.tinycorelinux.com/install.html
ale po resecie kompa system sie nie wlancza tylko wyswietla sie napis grub. Jakby dyski nie widzial. Po wpisaniu komendy  fdisk -1   pokazuje co takiego.
tc@box:~$ sudo fdisk -1
fdisk: invalid option -- '1'
BusyBox v1.17.2 (2010-09-24 12:19:23 PDT) multi-call binary.

Usage: fdisk [-ul] [-C CYLINDERS] [-H HEADS] [-S SECTORS] [-b SSZ] DISK

Change partition table

Options:
   -u      Start and End are in sectors (instead of cylinders)
   -l      Show partition table for each DISK, then exit
   -b 2048      (for certain MO disks) use 2048-byte sectors
   -C CYLINDERS   Set number of cylinders/heads/sectors
   -H HEADS
   -S SECTORS

Wie ktos co z tym zrobic?? Z gory dziekuje za pomoc

My Polish isn't very good but I can see that you misspelled the l (or ł haha) and used the 1 (one, number) instead. The correct command is fdisk -l (l for list).

My grub have a      error 8 kernel must be loaded before booting   please help me.

All I could comment looking at this post is that there is a blatantly wrong size analogy of a linux and a swap partition. Sizes to be the other way round could make sense.

Besides from that, last time I had looked at the subject of linux swap partitions, max. size possible was 2 GB - though that is some years ago, as I couldn't see an overall advantage of having a swap partition over swap file(s) with recent kernels.

[jacej6490]

how to solve this problem. replace partitions?

[tinypoodle]

You could set the partition types the other way round, then format the linux partition and mkswap the swap partition.

Note: This will destroy any data present on the disk.

This is even worse!

Make the swap partition small (< 2 GB), if any at all.

You might want to show us the exact 'fdisk' command you are using. But maybe it would help us to also know the disk geometry. So to start off what is the (full) output of fdisk -lu /dev/hda (which is a small variation of what you've been doing, but also cuts out the "noise")?

I'm pretty sure that I'm able to give you an exact 'fdisk' command, if I know how large the disk is, and which size you plan to give to each of the two partitions.

I mean that I have a problem with the installation of grub. After restarting the computer shows me this screen

    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 installed as the user so everything should be fine

[maro]

So what it the content of your GRUB config file (e.g. '/boot/grub/menu.lst') and is it on the intended file system (e.g. '/dev/hda1')? Are the kernel (i.e. 'bzImage') and the initrd (i.e. 'tinycore.gz') where they are expected to be (e.g. in the '/boot' directory on '/dev/hda1')?

My impression is that GRUB does not find the config file. This could be the result from an issue during the GRUB installation (e.g. with root (hd0,0) and setup (hd0)) and now it's "a bit lost".

When you get to the GRUB prompt (as you currently are) you have the option to interactively use commands like 'kernel ...', 'initrd ...', and 'boot' to achieve the same as what a GRUB config file does. The critical thing is to identify and set the so called 'root' file system before using those commands.

If you are not familiar with this process I'll have to do some digging to find some suitable reading material for you. But first check those things I've mentioned above.

[jacej6490]

the command vi / mnt/hda1/boot/grub/menu.lst
This fits:
default 0
timeout 10
tinycore title
kernel / boot / bzImage quiet
initrd / boot / tinycore.gz

and in the instructions it says press ESC to exit Eby and X. And I have a problem with that. Eby get out of this command push button ctr + Z. I'm not sure if I save. And then I walk proceed using grub. and entered komedny
root (hd0, 0)
setup (hd0)
quit
as it is in the user

[jacej6490]

my grub:
grub> root (hd0,0)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

grub> setup (hd0)
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
 Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"...  16 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
 Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2
/boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeeded
Done.
