title SliTaz GNU/Linux (cooking) (Kernel 2.6.30.6-slitaz)

root (hd0,4)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz root=/dev/sda5



is my line in /boot/grub/menu.lst :)

You need to run in terminal

update-grub

i think...
In Debian.

I don't think GRUB needs updating, it looks directly at the file in the parition it boots from. Remember that being one advantage of many over LILO. I might be wrong though!

done!

menu.lst is the way if you have grub. In grub2, you can just run update-grub in terminal.

If i have 3 distros installed and lets say i put in Slitaz as the fourth, then i just run this update-grub in terminal, and at next boot, slitaz will be there as well.

If I don't run update-grub, it want see it.

I can't boot slitaz cooking.I install slitaz in my acer netbook. I use grub2 bootloader. My system has 3 OS already such -XP, Ubuntu 9.10, and Ubuntu NBR 9.10. I installed slitaz in a separate partition-
/dev/sda10
Now I used seawolf's configuration with using number in my case.. /sda10. here is my config, but doen't boot:

title SliTaz GNU/Linux (cooking) (Kernel 2.6.30.6-slitaz)

root (hd0,9)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz root=/dev/sda10

what went wrong?Any suggestion plz!

Hmmm, should be okay as long as sda10 is picked up by SliTaz's udev (which it should be). Are there any error messages given?

In GRUB, if you edit the root line and use:
root (hd0,
to autocomplete the partitions, does it look right?

When I switch on the machine, I select Slitaz, then hit enter. I got this

Error 15: File not found


I will try

root (hd0, to autocomplete the partitions).

when I put the line of root as

root (hd0, to autocomplete the partitions).

or

root (hd0, autocomplete the partitions).

it gives...... Error 11: Unrecognised device string

My post got mangled: it was meant to be

root (hd0,

and then the tab key straight after the comma with no space. it'll list the partitions that can fill the arguments.

root (hd0{TAB}

u must edit the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom : http://i49.tinypic.com/29gg589.png

sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom

sudo update-grub

Still not success.I have done the follow as well-

sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom

sudo update-grub

but it doesn't show Slitaz at boot menu. the following lines are after I have done change with

[ sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom]

......................................................

#!/bin/sh

And, a part of my grub configuration of Slitaz with my working UNR(as 3rd O.S) is showing below:


title Ubuntu-remix 9.10

root (hd0,8)

kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/sda9

initrd /initrd.img




menuentry SliTaz GNU/Linux (cooking) (Kernel 2.6.30.6-slitaz) {

insmod ext3

set root= (hd0,10)

linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz root=/dev/sda10

}



*N.B-I installed Slitaz in /dev/sda10. I used grub2 upgraded from ubuntu9.04. Now I use ubuntu9.10

insmod 'ext2'

root='/dev/hda10'

I will try it........insmod 'ext2'

root='/dev/hda10'

Actually when I installed I formatted the partition as "ext3" and I saw as..../dev/sda10. So, in my case, should I edit as "ext2" and ""/hda10.

As my OS was upgraded from ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 and grub to grub2, Today I deleted my ubuntu system and I did clean installation of Ubuntu karmic 9.10. I installed Slitaz again.It was horrifying me. it doesn't boot. Error message was given as there no partition.
I am right now in the middle of re-installation of my Ubuntu 9.10. Thanks guys. I will keep trying .

Success. Thanks all forum members.For those new user, it might be helpful how to install Slitaz cooking with the following summary. I just summarised the information given by the members:
Here it goes-

My system-

acer aspireone 160gb/(triple boot-xp/ubuntu9.10/ubuntu UNR 9.10+ slitaz now)

-slitaz cooking install from CD

-install in partion /dev/sda10

-ext3

Now follow forum member # * sid's advice (above)

u must edit the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom : http://i49.tinypic.com/29gg589.png

sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom

sudo update-grub

This is how my edition shows:

#!/bin/sh

exec tail -n +3 $0

menuentry SliTaz GNU/Linux (cooking) (Kernel 2.6.30.6-slitaz) {

insmod ext2

set root= (hd0,10)

}

now boot the machine. Slitaz is show. it works. Thank you. All the credits to forum members.

oops! Sorry, I did a typo mistake. I wrote (insmod ext3).I edited the above message from (insmod ext3) to (insmod ext2)) , which working entry is :


insmod 'ext2'

root='/dev/hda10'

( from sid's advice)
