   Hi!

   This problem is probably due to an incorrect grub configuration (menu.lst). I faced this problem in the past too, when I tryed to boot using a USB flash drive. In my case, grub was pointing to the wrong device: it was searching the boot files at the hard drive, instead of flash drive.

   Did you use a flash drive to boot? Also, can you post the contents of your menu.lst?

   Have a nice day!

   So you will use the Live CD to access your SliTaz loram installed in your hard drive, am I right?
   menu.lst is at /boot/grub

   In a terminal (like XTerm), make:
   $ su
   <type your password; default is "root">
   # cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
   --- or ---
   # pcmanfm
   <navigate to /boot/grub and select the file>

   Copy and paste the content of the file here.

   hello yes I tryed to install slitaz 5 rollin lowram on the hard drive but when I start the laptop: grub: error 15. So I have to use the Live cd to access ( to try to access menu.lst)

   (tux@slitaz:~$ su
   Password:
   root@slitaz:/home/tux# cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
   cat: can't open '/boot/grub/menu.lst': Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type (no file of this type)
   root@slitaz:/home/tux#)

   With pcmanfm, I don't find /boot

   when I did the graphic install I was asked to install grub and I tick .

   I tested slitaz-loram using VirtualBox and I think we have a problem with the file system and grub.

   The first image is the menu.lst output for booting slitaz-loram. The original text is:
   kernel /boot/vmlinuz-squashfs.ko root=/dev/sda1 video=-32 quiet
   I corrected it to the real file name:
   kernel /boot/vmlinuz-squashfs.koslitaz root=/dev/sda1 video=-32 quiet

   After that, grub started. First problem: OK.

   Te second image shows where the system freezes at boot. I'm not sure, but I think there is a problem with the squash filesystem. When one try to install slitaz-loram, the only options Gparted shows are ext2, ext3 and ext4; squash filesystem seems to be not supported.

   At this point, I have no enough knowledge to help you, @calixtus06, so let's ask other more experienced users to help.

   Hi!

   If loram version can't be installed, you would try the normal slitaz rolling. As I read at this post: http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/advices-to-install-slitaz-5-rolling-loram
   ...you have 256 Mb of RAM, so it is possible to start slitaz LiveCD and install it at your hard drive.
   Rolling automatically select the best version to boot according to the amount of RAM.

   Have a nice day!

    Hi!

    Sorry @calixtus06, but I speak only english and portuguese.

    If you have 256Mb, it seems that LiveCD choosed "gtkonly" to boot your computer.But gtkonly is quite limited and many SliTaz features are missing to save memory. I tested a LiveCD onto Virtualbox using gtkonly and it really don't have shutdown, package manager and internet browser.

    I think if you want to use a complete SliTaz system, you will need to install it. Unfortunately, graphical installer isn't present at gtkonly, so you need to install Slitaz using a terminal. At this moment, I don't know how to install Slitaz using a terminal, so can't help you at this.

    Hi all.

    I have SliTaz Rolling 5.0 (current) installed on a computer with 128MB of memory, HD with 40GB and work fine.

    Please calixtus06, choose a version of SliTaz (Rolling or Stable) and try a clean install. We have 32bit and 64bit. "Always check the ISO md5sum before burning the image on CD". In the CD boot options choice: SliTaz Live.

    In extreme cases you can (CD Boot) choose the option: Web Boot. And run the system freely in memory and install on your hard drive.

    .

    Hello Hackdorte, I don't really understand how to check the iso mdsum before burning the image on cd. I would think that it was just before install on hard drive.

    can you explain me . Thank you

    @ calixtus06

    Install Rolling from base: follow these instructions (take care, written for SliTaz 4.0; maybe you'll have to adapt them)
    Replace

    • TGT_PARTITION="/dev/hda3" with TGT_PARTITION="/dev/sda#" where # is the number of your / partition (I know you use a swap and a /home partition)
    • TGT_FS="ext3" with the type of the formatting you want (ext2 or ext3 or ext4)
    • TGT_HOME="" with TGT_HOME="/dev/sda#" (see TGT_PARTITION above)
    • TGT_HOME_FS="" with the type of the formatting you want for /home (ext2 or ext3 or ext4)
    • TGT_WINBOOT="auto" with TGT_WINBOOT="" if you don't need dual boot (No other OS installed)

    Read TazInst manual for more informations (french version)
    BTW, could someone add the links of the TazInst manual on pages http://doc.slitaz.org/en:start and other languages? Thanks.
