HI Everybody,

I've installed SuSE 8.1 on my old P90 with 32 MB of memory and a generic IDE hard drive. There's nothing funny in this system, no SCSI, no RAID, just a standard IDE CDROM drive.

Although it was really slow, I finally got to the screen that says to remove all media and reboot. When I did, the hard drive was accessed, and "GRUB" was printed on the screen with nothing more. The system won't boot. I am at a loss as to how to proceed.

I tried to run the rescue system but my memory limits seem to prevent it from working.

I booted the floppy and restarted the installation. When the installation was idle, I accessed one of the consoles (Alt-F9 I think). There was a prompt at which I can access some commands. I suppose I could just install LILO but I'd like to understand why the SuSE installation apparently failed me at this step with GRUB.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Andy

I have the same problem with GRUB (some different configuration of PC from yours). People from installation support told me to try this: 1. try to install GRUB manually using GRUB shell - this had no effect 2. try to recompile GRUB with option --with-binutis and set path to /usr /sbin/grub I'm using LILO a it works correctly. d3dk0
