prost Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I installed the iso file to a U.S.B. stick and booted into the liveCD option. Everything worked. I chose to install the operating system to a SATA hard-drive partition. I opted to install the GRUB boot loader to pclinuxos's root partition as I have a boot loader already in the MBR. I couldn't boot, however. I then booted back into the liveCD option to try to install GRUB via the command line. I did: (as root user) Grub find /boot/grub/stage1 root (hd1,7) setup (hd1,7) as the root partition is on sdb8. This did not work. I also tried grub-install /dev/sdb8 Any ideas?

What bootloader do you have in the MBR? This is what the BIOS will boot. Somehow you have to get that bootloader to boot linux. Glitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
