hey comp guru another little problem :x i have installed leopard on another drive but i dont see any option to select the drive in add entry menu, the drive selection drop down is absent only for mac but is thr for linux etc :( any help appreciated

sir ur understanding ... in the slax folder there is a .gz file the first code u gave had .zip as the extension which i blindly copied upon digging into the slax folder i found that the extension for the initrd file gz and then i changed the exension in the menu.lst file from zip (which does not...

i didnt rename the file :lol: i renamed the entry in menu.lst ;) i have posted on their forums lets see what replies i get

ok the initrd.zip is actually initrd.gz which i changed but im still getting a kernel panic with an absolutely weird error also while i was at slax forums i came across this thread may be this could give u some idea about slax's booting SLAX :: View topic - How to move bootable usb files to...

i tired it and this is what im getting: VFS: Cannot open root device "hda5" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append correct "root"= boot option Kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root from unknown block (0,0)

problem soved i did a fresh install and i think it was the hd0,# problem maybe i had entered the wrong no. lsat time this time everything is working fine ... grub is being launched from the easybcd boot loader menu :D

ya i did that

i dont know whats wrong now but it is still giving the same error i have chosen hd0,4 as the grub location (easybcd also shows partition 4 for linux in the drop-down while add/removing an entry) still when i boot and try to go into ubuntu it gives me the same 4 line error mentioned above This...

holy hell what a n00by error i made ... damn stupid of me lemme give this a re-try cause re-installing grub seems more complicated :D

u want me to re-install grub by following from here on the given link i will do that however i must also tell u that i tied re-installing ubuntu still the same problem occured

but i havnt installed grub :?: i un-selected ubuntu's bootloader option i havnt chosen grub installer from easybcd :?: ...

i had already tried this (but waited for ur tut to see if i was doing something wrong) and here is what i am getting: otpart.htm Loading New Partition Bootsector from CH Hoch Statter Cannot load from hard disk Insert System disk or press any key :?

both these are in the boot folder that is d:\slax\boot\ list of files isolinux.bi_ isolinux.bin isolinux.boot splash.cfg vmlinuz memtest splash.lss splash.txt splash2.txt initrd.zip also a folder named DOS
