But, my laptop has a single HDD with GRUB4DOS in the MBR and grldr on the first drive (a factory FAT16). I am not having this problem with other distros on the same compressed-NTFS partition. Just with Precise.rcrsn51 wrote:I cannot duplicate this problem. I made a compressed NTFS drive and booted 5493 using Grub4Dos. Everything worked correctly, including saving to /mnt/home.gcmartin wrote:I have found a problem with use of compressed-NTFS and both versions of 5.5beta.
I decided to change the GRUB4DOS config for Precise from
Code: Select all
find --set-root ===> root (hd0,4)
Code: Select all
Filesystem type is NTFS, partition type 0x07
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3e00, size=0x298250]
[Linux-initrd @ 0x3f5f6000, 0x1ccc76 bytes]
uncompression error
--System halted
This appears as if there may be something in the distro that causes this. I suggest this because all the other distros boot fine from the compressed partition except this Precise 5492 and 5493.
The disk layout is
- Partition 1 - FAT16
Partition 2 - NTFS
Partition 4 - FAT32
Partition 5 - compressed NTFS
