Re: How to boot Knoppix 4.02 (cd or dvd data) from a USB don
alright since there has been much help in here i'll post my problem as well :-)
i've got a laptop with sata interface:
sda1 -> NTFS windows-root-partition
sda2 -> reiserfs, my linux root partition
sda3 -> fat32 partition filled with recovery stuff
sda4 -> swap partition
my problem... while booting grub i get the flashing cursor only stated earlier here.
i'll start off with my 2 config files:
boot.ini:
Code:
[boot loader]
timeout=8
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windoze" /fastdetect
c:\bootgrub="Linux 1"
c:\grldr="Linux 2"
menu.Lst: (the file does not have a capital L, just to distinguish between i and l :-)
Code:
color white/blue black/light-gray
default 0
timeout 1
gfxmenu (hd0,1)/boot/message
title Linux
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 vga=0x314 selinux=0 xyz acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode splash=silent resume=/dev/sda4 showopts
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd
title Windoze
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
title Failsafe
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 showopts ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off vga=normal noresume selinux=0 barrier=off nosmp noapic maxcpus=0 3
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd
title memtest86
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/memtest.bin
as you can see i already tried to use the bootgrub thing, with no difference. i have also copied bootgrub, grldr and the /boot folder to my FAT32 partition and changed C:\grldr and bootgrub to D:\ which is the fat32 partition (the last thing changed the error! i then get the hal.dll missing)
and yes, i have both the initrd and vmlinuz files in my C:\boot folder
any suggestions?
oh sorry i forgot.. this is winxp prof (yea i know xp sucks, but i heard some rumors about w2k and problem with centrino notebooks
