Hello,

I am desperately totally stuck with installing my linux.
I could install the system but the grub fails. No any single location let it hte grub to be installed, even on hte floppy disk.

Here is the small details: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=15663
(besides, I am really beginner in Linux, dreaming about this linux finally to be installed)

Help & Thanks if someone knows how to install the grub of the linux

I read through that thread and I am still confused...

Were you able to finish installing debian? If so, does you computer start grub when it boots but then is unable to boot the selected kernel? If this is the case, please either boot a rescue disk and post the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst or press 'e' when the computers boots into grub and copy down and post what it shows.

I wasnt able to finish properly the installation of debian. I had to do skip grub install.

The grub install was installed on a floppy disk but in
the /target/boot/grub there is no single menu.lst file.

I booted the pc with floppy disk inside, got Grub loading, Error 15 at boot. Pressing 'e' doesnt work, since nothg is loaded. I pressed all keys and nothgin wants to enter any menu of grub.

Knoppix cannot make :
grub-install --root blabla since knoppix stops at the beginning since I have bios issue that can only be see by backported sarge certainly. (Dont ask me why)

So, I have no menu.lst.
Additionaly, wiht booted sarge backported cdrom, seeing well my eth0 and harddisks, grub-install says :
wrapper error stuff. Not possible.

My /dev/hdi2 or /dev/hdi would be the most favourable to have the grub, but I dont care: I want this Debian.

I hope you would give me light ...

More info pastebin:

acquire a Dreamlinux disk (download or buy at frozentech.com)
//or you can use any linux cd that boots with grub
go to the option "boot from first hard disk"
type, without quotes, "rootnoverify(hd0,0) kernel=/boot/vmlinuz initrd=/boot/initrd "
hit enter and see if that works

the messages logs have been added: http://yellowprotoss.sitesled.com/pastebin/pastebin.htm

It didnt work: "rootnoverify(hd0,0) kernel=/boot/vmlinuz initrd=/boot/initrd "
Too, Dreamlinux says: "JMB361 DMA BASE IS INVALID"

Even same as knoppix, it didnt work, to boot it wijhtout acpi ...

Still stuck due to bios issue ...pitty

I bought a PCI2IDE card.
I plugged my IDE in it, boot the iso cdrom,
then got :
IDE1_harddisk
IDE2_harddisk
SATA_harddisk <= last position.

Then the grub could be installed and I can run DEBIAN !!
It costed me 30bucks.

BUT
the problem, now,
as normal boot, the systems hangs says that : abnormal sata something

TOO, Via ro single-user boot in grub,I GET:

Pfff, lot of fight just to get linux runnign...

I then now, googled, and as indicated: http://www.jimohalloran.com/2004/02/...ost-interrupt/
I removed my ASUS cable and replaced it a regular grey IDE cable.

I now get :
damn....


There, it says:
that my jmicron requires min 2.6.19 kernel


Vus: 278

Ton board Asus va surement avoir un chipset Jmicron...donc ça va te prendre un kernel 2.6.19 en montant, car le jmicron est supporté seulement à partir de 2.6.19.

Alors je te conseil de downloader ...
