| Post subject: | Please help on manual install on second hard drive |
I have been fighting with this forever now. Please give me the step by step to install to a second hard drive on the second ide. Either that or a link to doing it? I have done TONS of research and nothing works. Thanks... A Wanting (but lacking) Linux Person Just to tell you what I have done... 1. Boot from CD 2. Make four partitions /, swap, mythtv, and cache (not sure on what filesystem to use. You guys say ext3 but there isn't an option for that. Which number is that? 82?) 3. Load config file, config it (host name, passwords, etc), then save to writable area on disk 4. Edit config file changing every reference of hda to hdd and added HD_MAP listings of the /, the swap, mythtv, and cache. 5. Load new updated config file. 6. Install 7. Copies files over giving three error msgs about Mount: Filesystem something something. 8. Installation Complete, click ok. 9. Goes to command line with nothing else. I reboot and it goes back into XP. Please, I would give anyone a shiny nickle if the could please help me out. |

Setting up partitions comes first, setting up the FS comes later. Set the ones other than the swap partition to "Linux Native", set the swap partition to "Linux Swap". I think those are type 82 and 83, but double check. Code: 2. Make four partitions /, swap, mythtv, and cache (not sure on what filesystem to use. You guys say ext3 but there isn't an option for that. Which number is that? 82?)
If you're giving away money, I'd suggest Cecil, the EFF, or the FSF (Yes, Stallman is a radical and obnoxiously over the top sometimes, and needs to bathe more often according to former officemates, but he's still right about a lot of things...). |

i have knoppmyth on hda1 (for i had windows there for a tmp need) and debian on hda3 and 4. debian boots direclty from grub witch is allrdy installed to the mbr of hda knoppmyth gets chainbooted (grub boots lilo then lilo boots knoppmyth) what you do is do a manual install and insted of installing the bootloader (lilo in this case) to the mbr you do it to the partition your plaining to install knoppmyth to. in this case gurb is allready installed to the mbr if not you can install it and to set it up you use something like this for /boot/grub/menu.lst (this is mine) Code: timeout 15
color cyan/blue white/blue foreground ffffff background 0639a1 gfxmenu /boot/grub/message title Debian at hda3, kernel 2.6.10 kernel (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10 root=/dev/hda3 nomce psmouse.proto=imps quiet splash=verbose vga=791 initrd (hd0,2)/boot/initrd.splash title KnoppMyth rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 boot #title WinXP-pro #rootnoverify (hd0,0) #this is commented out becouse i don't need it #chainloader +1 #but if you use it be shure to use the correct partitons name for #boot #grub ie: (hd0,0)= hda1 (hd1,1) = hdb2 etc... title Debian at hda3, kernel 2.4.29 kernel (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.29 root=/dev/hda3 nomce quiet splash=verbose vga=791 hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi initrd (hd0,2)/boot/initrd.splash title MEMTEST kernel /boot/memtest86.bin read up on grub you can do some neat stuff with it |
