50 | has been described by derPENGUIN on english forum |
50 | or to the partition used for Kolibri. |
51 | (http://meos32.7.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=110). |
- | |
52 | The suggested method (described by Alver) is based on that description |
51 | a) For GRUB2, in the folder /etc/grub.d add to one of files next lines: |
- | 52 | ||
53 | and was checked on grub-0.97-19mdv2007.0. |
53 | menuentry 'KolibriOS' { |
54 | 1. Kolibri can write only on FAT filesystem, so if image file is placed not |
54 | linux16 (hd[Hard disk number],[partition number])[path]/memdisk |
55 | to FAT volume, the system can not save settings. Therefore if you have |
55 | initrd16 (hd[Hard disk number],[partition number])[path]/kolibri.img |
- | 56 | } |
|
- | 57 | ||
56 | FAT32 partition, place 'kolibri.img' there. |
58 | example: |
- | 59 | ||
57 | 2. This method requires the file 'memdisk' from the package 'syslinux' |
60 | menuentry 'KolibriOS' { |
58 | (http://syslinux.zytor.com). You may install the whole package or only |
- | |
59 | extract the mentioned file. Only the file 'memdisk' is needed. (After |
61 | linux16 (hd0,msdos1)/boot/memdisk |
60 | package install it will be in '/usr/lib/syslinux'). |
62 | initrd16 (hd0,msdos1)/boot/kolibri.img |
61 | 3. Place the file 'memdisk' to the folder 'boot' or to the partition used |
- | |
62 | for Kolibri. |
63 | } |
- | 64 | ||
- | 65 | then, run in terminal 'sudo update-grub'. |
|
- | 66 | ||
63 | 4. Add to the configuration file 'menu.lst' ('grub.conf') lines as follow: |
67 | b) For old GRUB, add to the configuration file 'menu.lst' next lines: |

73 | initrd (hd0,3)/kolibri/kolibri.img |

75 | The initial variant was: |
- | |
76 | - | ||
77 | label KolibriOS |
- | |
78 | root (hd[Hard disk number],[partition number]) |
- | |
79 | kernel [path]/memdisk |
- | |
80 | initrd [path]/kolibri.img |
- | |
81 | - | ||
82 | Here 'memdisk' and 'kolibri.img' must be placed on the same partition. |
- | |
83 | - | ||
84 | Example: |
- | |
85 | label KolibriOS |
- | |
86 | root (hd0,0) |
- | |
87 | kernel /boot/memdisk |
- | |
88 | initrd /boot/kolibri.img |
- | |
89 | This example is the variant described on english forum, with install to |
- | |
90 | Linux boot partition (of course, without FAT partition). |
- | |
91 | - | ||
92 | 5) The previous method could not work as is in GRUB2 (tested by Apocalypse_dn), |
- | |
93 | the commands "linux16" and "initrd16" should be used instead of "kernel" |
76 | kernel (hd0,0)/boot/memdisk |
94 | and "initrd" (suggested by vkos). |
77 | initrd (hd0,3)/kolibri/kolibri.img |
