I have tried to get the install to USB to work with no luck. I used the script provided and that builds a stick good enough so that the machine sees GRUB and tries to boot but it dumps me to the BASH-LIKE interface of GRUB. I tried to cat (hd0,0)/boot/grub/grub.conf but all I got was garbage (a series of ??????????) I copied all the startup commands on a separate computer (I did that to make sure grub.conf was not corrupted) and I could look at the file fine. I tried again and this time I type the root/kernel/initrd commands that I copied from the file and the bastard booted fine. At that point suspecting a GRUB problem I wiped the stick and tried to rebuild it by hand with the GRUB from my computer (version 0.97). I did what I am used to which is a boot partition (sdh1) a root partition (sdh3) and a config partition (sdh2) all ext2. I installed grub to sdh1 and changed the config so that it was (hd0,0)/ instead of (hd0,0)/boot/ and strange enough that worked just fine. No problem booting up, other than failing to find the iso to finish booting. I need help either getting the original scheme working (how can I make grub see grub.conf?) or my manual scheme working (how can I tell it where the ISO is?) Any help is much appreciated. |
