ianw1974 11 Report post Posted November 7, 2007 What is the contents of your map.lst file? What partition has your /boot directory stored on it? If not separate, it will be what you allocated to /. I need to know this before I can tell you how to do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lando 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2007 Below the menu.lst where I 've added " noapic nolapic pci=noacpi " to see if MDV 2008 can boot ! I've added these boot parameters using MDV One live but now I have to record the bootloader in MBR....I think to do a chroot to the / then with Grub command ( that I cannot understand what it is...) write on MBR the loader... With lilo was used this procedure....Can I do it with grub ?
