 Posted: Wed Feb 05, 2003 8:09 pm Post subject: Sorry, stupid question about grub |
 |
|
I follow the installation instruction and i rebooted the system after the completion of grub configuration.
After reboot compare a grub prompt:
grub>
I have created a boot partition on /dev/sda1 with ext3 ,
and a / partition on /dev/sda3 with the same filesystem.
What I have missed?
thanks.

| Do you mean that when you boot you just get the grub prompt and no menu? If so, you should probably look for the problem in your grub.conf file. |

yes, the only thing that i obtain is the grub prompt with no menu.
I checked the grub.conf file via the boot cd and it seems OK.
What can I do?

Can you boot the system from the grub prompt by doing something like the following:
| Code: |
grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/sda3
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0xa00, size=0xe5520]
grub> boot

Great! is now booting!
But what could be the problem with the grub splash/start menu? 
Thanks!

You might have to make a symlink to menu.lst.
| Code: | | ln -s /boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/menu.lst |
