Title: Install TC help
Post by: novack 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)

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.
