GRUB won't boot Linux

GRUB won't boot Linux

Post by Ron Hous » Thu, 01 May 2003 19:49:59



I have installed RedHat as usual on a friend's computer, and I am
getting this error when GRUB is told to boot Linux:

-------------
Booting Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-3)
root (hd0, 4)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernal/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 ro root=/dev/hda5 hdc=ide-scsi
Error 28: Selected item cannot fit in memory.
-------------

The system has a 30GB disk partitioned as follows:

hda0: 4GB, FAT32
hda5: 4GB, ext3, Linux /
hda6: 512MB Linux swap
hda7: half remainder, FAT32
hda8: half remainder. ext3

The system was installed to hda5. Windows in hda0 still boots correctly.

No errors or warnings were seen during installation. Never had this
before, has anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance,

1. Redhat 8.0: linux won't boot, both grub and lilo don't work

I installed Redhat Linux 8.0 on my system, and all went well during
the install, however when I booted up when the install had finished I
was just left looking at a screen "GRUB _", with the cursor flashing.
Nothing was happening, it just sat there. The only way I got it to
boot up was by using the boot disk I created during the installation.

Because I wanted to boot off the hard drive, I decided to install
again and this time use the bootloader lilo, however, I just got stuck
with a screen "Li 02 02..." and the '02's just kept appearing.

I need to be able to boot off the hard drive, so if you have any idea
what the problem could be, or how to resolve it, please reply.

Thanks.
