Sorry - I have no idea about that one. If Grub4Dos works but Grub doesn't it could possibly be something to do with the way the menu.lst stanzas are written? (ie: maybe not so much a problem with Grub, but rather something missing in the menu.lst??circularL7 wrote:GRUB loaded to HD keeps giving me "tried to kill init" errors. GRUB4DOS, as Dewbie suggested, loaded to HD works like a charm.
Any advice on the error?
Did you try opening a media player and getting access to the disc that way? On some of my systems that is the only way to start a music CD.And the CD readers (one on each machine) did not work for a music CD, which worked in my old personal CD player. Any advice? The drives wouldn't mount.
No reason unless you find ext2 causes problems booting on some motherboards. FAT gives greater compatibility sometimes.Another question: why shouldn't I format the thumbdrive that I want to use as a booter to ext2 with no FAT?
