[Syllable-developer] Syllable grubbing in VM... (fwd)

[M S. <mi...@as...>]

Hi all,

Someone sent me this. I haven't used Syllable on QEMU for a while now, 
so I'm not exactly sure where the problem lies. Any ideas?

Ta,
Mike

Dear Mike,

at the moment I am trying to install Syllable 0.5.7 on QEMU/VMware. I
start with enable_ata_dma=false to get past the Decoding partition
table... I even partition to select hd0,1 (leaving 18 sectors free for
GRUB)... I install on he first partition and even check/edit the
menu.lst using AEdit (including enable_ata_dma=false). When the vm
reboots I start from the CD again, go to the grub console and do: root
(hd0,1), setup (hd0). The embedding fails... when i check the embed by
hand, it shows i still dont have enough sectors free?!?

Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/afs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/afs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... failed (this is not fatal)
Running "embed /boot/grub/aft_stage1_5 (hd0,0)"... failed (this is not
fatal)
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) /boot/grub/stage2 p
/boot/grub/menu.lst "...succeeded
Done.

any suggestions to what i should try to make it run???

greetings


Gerard
