Title: Frugal install problem of tc1.2 on PCLOS2009.1 with existing grub (solved)
Post by: alanbcohen on March 30, 2009, 10:53:49 AM

I didn't want to hijack an older thread.  Following the DistroWatch interview;
- I copied bzImage and tinycore.gz to a new directory /boot/tc (only contents)
- created a grub entry

Code: [Select]

title Tiny Core Linux
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/tc/bzImage BOOT_IMAGE=Tiny_Core_Linux
root=(hda0,0)
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/tc/tinycore.gzWhen I boot and select this grub entry, I get a text-only boot of PCLOS using the tiny core kernel.
I would appreciate any suggestions on what to do to correct this and boot to a tiny core gui desktop.

Thank you.
Your response put me on the right path and the remaining error messages made sense.  I deleted the dot following bzImage and removed the 'a' from root=(hda0,0)
I appreciaate the help.
