I forgot to include the following
40 GB HD
1.5 GB Win98
5.0 GB Win XP Pro NTFS
10 GB Data (shared Win$ & LINUX)
5.5 GB ext3 KNOPPIX 3.2 (hda7)
600 MB swap
GRUB would then look for the kernel in
(hd0,6)
Can anyone help?
Hi there!
My first post after registration!
I've been looking around for quite a while, but haven't found a suitable answer.
I am using a floppy-less Samsung X10 Centrino Laptop, where the best distro I've installed so far is Knoppix 3.2.
My problem is:
I do NOT want to use LILO, but the installation programme only offers this choice.
I've run
grub-install /dev/hda
and created a grub.conf file with the following lines
default=0
timeout=10
title Knoppix 3.2
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-xfs ro
initrd /boot/initrd.gz
title Windows XP Professional SP1
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
After rebooting, the system doesn't start: it just goes into the grub prompt.
What is wrong and / or what is missing in the previous grub.conf setup?.
Regards,
Arthur![]()

I dont know much 'bout grub, acutally I'd like to know it too, I guess you can better google it... tell us if you found out![]()
you got the prompt it means it starts, just can't find the menu file. Try this at the GRUB prompt :
root (hd0,0)
configfile /<your grub.conf path>
There are a couple of HOWTOs which touch on all this. But I'm interested in how well Knoppix works with a Centrino device.
Hi!
How well does Knoppix work with a Centrino laptop?.
So far, the best distro![]()

I've installed / tried to install
Red Hat 9.0 Second best
LinEx 3.0 r1
Mandrake 9.1
SuSE 8.1 Pro
Lycoris Amethyst Build 46
Gentoo 1.4 (stage 3)
KNOPPIX 3.2 is Debian after a HDD install, and it works almost perfectly (which is quite a lot to say except for the horrific LILO startup screen).
