Problem Finding Partion on Installation process

[baldyeti]

Did you check my previous tip? Is there a partition marked as bootable?

[MarcusLopes]

Yes there is....

here is the information from the cfdisk!!
[ hda1 boot Primary Linux 4300 mb]

[baldyeti]

Oh, but then hda1 should be bootable... Also what did you do with the remaining 700 Mb or so? Is it still there, unallocated yet?
You did go through the whole install, didn't you? Do you remember what you answered about installing lilo to the MBR?

[MarcusLopes]

I'm reinstalling it again..... I'll let you know if it doesn't work and what is the lilo msg!!

Thanks

Marcus

here is the msg after installation:

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 24 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
tune2fs 1.35-WIP (21-Aug-2003)
Copying files...Sending DHCP broadcast from device eth0 OK.
cp: cannot stat `/etc/alternatives/soffice.*': No such file or directory

Never mind yall..... I got it working!!!

I'm so happy!


You were right dude..... for some reason when I set as a bootable this time it worked!!!
I did the first time too.... but every time a ran the cfdisk it showed without the boot.

Anyways it is working now..... let me play a little bit with it and I'll come back with more questions
hehehehe

thanks
