Re: grub error

Hello randy

From Slitaz open Sakura (or Terminal)

$su

#mkdir /mnt/hda1

#mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1

#pcmanfm &

In pcmanfm open /mnt/hda1/boot to know the exact name of vmlinuz (and perhaps initrd, I don't know Ubuntu)

#leafpad /boot/grub/menu.lst

add an entry like this

title Ubuntu(on hda1)

root (hd0,0)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-x.y.z root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet

initrd /boot/initrd-x.y.z

Save.

#reboot

That's all

Have a nice day.
