Hi everybody I am installing slitaz on a laptop IBMThinkpad using floppy-grub4dos. I selected gPXE (LAN boot, PXE or NBI) to install. The procces is copying files for a long time. Then when I return to verify the proccess I only see on the screen a lot a messages from a very long Call Trace. What can I do to see the log and could know the problem?? I am supposing the copy of files finished ok and start the instalation. Regards Lorue
Long answer: With LAN boot, you are launching your PXE installation (likely NOT SliTaz) WAN boot will lauch http://mirror.slitaz.org/pxe/pxelinux.0 (you need an Internet connection). You will get a boot menu. Use default selection. Most people who can't boot SliTaz need a larger RAM quantity (at least 160MB). The WAN boot will check your RAM size (see http://mirror.slitaz.org/pxe/3.0/menus/main.cfg) and launch the according flavor (core / justx / base / tiny, starting with 24MB). If SliTaz boots, you will launch slitaz-installer.
Hi Pascal/Bellard Thank you for the long answer (:-D)) I just learning about Slitaz As I have 64k ram process installed as a Stable 3.0 base Then I enter as root/root and type slitaz-installer. Now I will follow http://www.slitaz.org/en/doc/handbook/install.html for a HD instalation Regards Lorue
Hi Pascal/Bellard The slitaz-installer looks finished OK. I selected install Grub to MBR. But when I want to start Slitaz from Hard Disk, the machine do not find GRUB. I have verified on Bios the boot sequence to be shure it is booting from HD. How I could verify the installation finished OK?? Regards Lorue
Hi Pascal/Bellard I had just reinstall slitaz using grub4dos I had just verified the installation of slitaz with # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/target and it looks OK. I had just verified the boot order and is: 1) Floppy 2) HD but when I reboot and the bios calls the HD, the grub do not appear on the screen, like if the grub do not exist. Regards Lorue
Hi Pascal/Bellard Finally I could Install. As all the HD was with Windows format/partition, the solution was to re-format and re-partition all HD to Linux partitons. Regards Lorue
