I installed Wary (puppy linux) on HDD (Full installation) on separate partition.
Puppy counts:
sda1 (Windows partition)
sda2 (Wary linux)
sdb1 (Windows Data storage)
I can boot Windows OS, but can't boot Wary - PC is running but screen is black and nothing happens.
grub menu.lst:
title Windows (on /dev/sda1)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
title Linux (on /dev/sda2)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 ro vga=773
Maybe I should change vga=773 to something?
Also I don't understand (hd0, 0)? Does it mean first HDD and first partition?
Any advice!?
Thank You!
Installed Wary won't boot (PC running, black screen)
Re: Can't boot Wary linux (PC running, black screen)
Are you sure vmlinuz is in /boot? I am not expert of full install but I found that the right line should be:kedit wrote: title Linux (on /dev/sda2)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 ro vga=773

Thank You!
kernel /vmlinuz pmedia=atahd root=/dev/sda2 ro vga=773
Substitute atahd with that of your case.
rjbrewer: I changed vga To normal. And don't know how, but it's working! Now I am from Full installation (booted from HDD)
Thank, You!
watchdog: Yes, vmlinuz is under /boot!
I have PC:
AMD Duron (TM) CPU 850Mhz, 512Mb of RAM
installed:
Wary Puppy version 5.3, released Apr 2012 (I looked in HELP)
maybe should make some command in terminal to know really version?
uname -a
Linux puppypc7862 2.6.32.59 #1 Mon Apr 2 19:19:10 GMT-8 2012 1686 GNU/Linux
First, I booted in Linux from HDD, it had no network interface found.
But from live CD it worked fine.
Some how I trayed some network tools, later I choosed random network driver? one of REALTEK, and some more steps and I got Network ruuning.
So I can be on internet
Thank You!
Now I have access and it's time to set up tools for edu
