Installing from a hard drive partition using grub.
 

I read an article to install linux directly from the hard drive, where it says:
So, I decided to use it to install the latest Slackware.
Copied the kernel from kernels/huge.s/bzImage and the ramdisk from isolinux/initrd.img

However,when I rebooted,I received this:
So what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for the help

Are you sure that your grub supports isos? I think that this wasn't supported in the past.

Try using unetbootin it is supposed to be able to support booting from hdd. Its intertwined in Installation & Screenshots.
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

Well, that it is what the article says

And Unetbootin doesn't work on my system.

I was wonderinfg do you have a bootable system, I just installed debian from a working os using debootstrap, was wondering if you wanted to try that.

Can you give me more details? Never heard about it before.

Yes, in my case Unetbootin doesn't work because I don't have libstdc++.so.6

Now I am almost certain that the problem is due to what yooy said: old grub that doesn't support ISO booting. I will try to install grub 2 and see how things go on.

I am following the guide that you mentioned in http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apds03.html but I found a problem during the stage
In the debootstrap.log file I saw this:
I have chroot on my system and also there is the newer version that debootstrap did install

What I should do now?

Are you running commands as root?
This post has all of the mounts with the exception of devpts

You have to configure devpts the same way that you do inpost above this line

Iused a combination of the 3 links to get working.

You might have a corrupt slackware iso file.
you did extract and copy initrd.img from slackware/isolinux and bzImage, System.map.gz from slackware/kernels
your grub entry did look like this?

grub2...can do it I think from what I've read.

Yes, the problem was with chroot outside the path. After putting its directory in path (and also ldconfig) I was able to successfully install the base system.



However: this came up. I searched the internet and found this:

http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-b...msg135436.html

So, the bug was supossed to be fixed by now? Should I reopen it?

And what about these options?

Debian warns about this option, but the guy from the blog used it:

Linux from scratch first recomends:

and if doesn't work, then this

MAKEDEV command is not there udev takes care of it. You just have to mount proc sys dev devpts accordingly.

This 1 works.
It appears that you are doing well.
Like I said I used all 3 of those posts to get a working system.
While Daemonkeeper.net helped me with mount commands, D3. help me get locales & everything else configured.
Glad to know you have atleast gotten base system in.
Oh btw when you've finished & have your system configured don't forget that you still have everything sitting in /mnt just taking up space. You can remove it.
