Guest guepe65 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hi all ! I succesfully installed mandriva 2009 on a laptop, grub seems ok, windows booting also. When trying to boot on mandriva, i got some messages very quickly, like : Setting up other filesystems Setting up new root fs setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory Switching to new root and running init. unmounting old /dev unmounting old /proc unmounting old /sys usb 2-6: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory Booting has failed This is completely similar to this topic but different for one important thing : there is _no_ RAID on this laptop. The only thing is, gub is installed on (hd0,4) (and not (hd0,0)) because it has a restore partition where the MBR was previously. I suppose grub detected it, and placed boot sector to this partition. Moreover, I tried reinstalling grub, which gave me the same (installed with the mandrive one 2009 live cd, which was the one for installation). All grub config. seems ok, installation of linux s made on the second partition (/) then a 1GB swap, then restore. Windows is at the beginning, in brief something very, very standard by these days. Do you have _any_ recommandation on what to test ? Thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
