 |
|
this is my first time with Linux.
1. I messed up the grub.conf in the initial setup stage (system won't boot), once i get the system booted where can i find the grub.conf file to change it permantly? I am able to change it at the initial boot loader to get the system booted but that is it.
2. When my system is booting up I also get errors:
modprobe: can't locate module /dev/BOOT
modprobe: can't locate module /dev/SWAP
The help is appreciated. |

1. You can then | Code: | | nano -w /boot/grub/grub.conf |
I'm gonna bet your problem was not mounting boot.
2. You must edit fstab and change /dev/ROOT to /dev/hda3 or /dev/hda5 or whereever your root partition is at. Also change /dev/BOOT to wherever your boot partition is at.
I hope this helps |
