tikidrummer Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I'm having a problem with certain distros working on certain computers. On my computer Hiren's will not boot but it will on my colleges computers. It's the opposite for Damn Small Linux. Here's my code title Kon-Boot-test map --mem /konboot.img (fd0) map --hook chainloader (fd0)+1 map (hd1) (hd0) map --hook rootnoverify (fd0) title DBAN kernel /memdisk initrd /dban.img title Backtrack 4pre Configfile/bt4/boot/grub/menu.lst title Hirens 9.9 kernel /hirens_root/memdisk initrd /hirens_root/boot.gz title ntpasswd kernel /ntpasswd/vmlinuz rw vga=1 initrd=/ntpasswd/initrd.cgz /ntpasswd/scsi.cgz initrd /ntpasswd/initrd.cgz title Damn Small Linux kernel /dsl_root/boot/isolinux/linux24 ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off vga=789 initrd=minirt24.gz nomce noapic BOOT_IMAGE=dsl initrd /dsl_root/boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz title Boot the First Hard Disk rootnoverify (hd1) chainloader +1 If you guys see anything out of line please tell me but I'm clueless on what would be causing this.

H@L0_F00 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 What happens when you try to boot Hiren's on your computer? What happens when you try to boot DSL on campus computers? Are you getting any errors? If so, what are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikidrummer Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 What happens when you try to boot Hiren's on your computer? What happens when you try to boot DSL on campus computers? Are you getting any errors? If so, what are they? It's saying E802 with hirens but it say booting. I waited ten minutes for it and it still wouldn't boot. I tryed moving the memdisk file to the root folder to see if that would help but it didn't. With DSL it simply stays on the boot screen. Also after trying SystemRescueCD I can't seem to get that to work either. I'm going to keep trying on some other computers. Thanks for the help. Sorry i wasn't more specific with the previous post.

H@L0_F00 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hmm, well some things just don't work with some computers/configurations/setups/whatever and it's incredibly hard to troubleshoot something when you have no idea why it's not working.
