[opensuse] [opensuse-project] Testing instlux for OpenSuSE10.3
I have just tried http://instlux.sourceforge.net/testing_builds/instluxCDROMOpenSuSE10_3.exe and it doesn't work: I now have two boot options: windows xp (default) and a new boot option to install OpenSUSE 10.3 Booting XP still works, selecting install opensuse leads to grub, and then an error: kernel /distros/instluxCDROMOpenSuse10_3/linux devfs=mount,dall ramdisk_size=65536 error 17: file not found mourik jan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
First of all thanks. Could you send me the file c:\menu.lst? Could you tell me if the following directory structure exists? c:\distros\instluxCDROMOpenSuse10_3 If so, do you have the files linux and initrd in it? Thanks, jordi El mar, 24-04-2007 a las 12:28 +0200, mourik jan heupink escribió:

First of all thanks.
Welcome. :-)
Could you send me the file c:\menu.lst?
title OpenSuSE 10.3 installer find --set-root /autoexec.bat kernel /distros/instluxCDROMOpenSuSE10_3/linux devfs=mount,dall ramdisk_size=65536 initrd /distros/instluxCDROMOpenSuSE10_3/initrd
Could you tell me if the following directory structure exists? c:\distros\instluxCDROMOpenSuse10_3
Yes
If so, do you have the files linux and initrd in it?
Also yes, I'm afraid... Regards, mourik jan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Suddenly I realise: I downloaded http://instlux.sourceforge.net/testing_builds/instluxCDROMOpenSuSE10_3.exe Does that mean I have to have a cdrom in the drive, containing opensuse 10.3? That would explain the issue... I assumed to would try a net-install... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Yes and no. I explain myself. The version you downloaded is for the CDROM media so you must have an OpenSuSE10.3 Alpha3 in your CD. However, it looks for the CDROM after loading the kernel and the initrd, and does not seem to load them right. GRUB4DOS seems to have a strange bug. In some machines, it won't work if you have a CD or DVD in your CD or DVD reader, so remove them before restarting your machine. Tell me if it works, thanks, jordi El mar, 24-04-2007 a las 13:03 +0200, mourik jan heupink escribió:

Hi Jordi, Meanwhile i've tried the netinstall version, and it also fails with the same error 17. There were no dvd's / cd's in my system. Mourik Jan Jordi Massaguer i Pla wrote:
