I tried my existing grub that came with the latest linux mint i have installed and it did not recognize any os system on my slacko-64 install partition with a sudo update-grub. Tried by installing grub from inside universal installer while booted in slack-64 cd and it make a menu entry in grub; but it produced the same above error . Tried grub4dos that was on my precise 5.7.1 full install and it recognized the os but produced the above error. I tried what was suggested for the entry in boot menu by universal installer in slack64 in my linux mint grub:bigpup wrote:What boot loader are you using?slick-puppy wrote: For the life of me though I can not get it to boot when trying to do a full install on the hard drive though:

Thanks for your work!!
How did you make the boot menu entry for the full install?
title Puppy Linux 5.8.7 full install
root (hd0,7)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda8 pmedia=atahd
I downloaded the iso again and started from scratch and same results as a before.
One thing I have not mentioned before is inside the universal installer when it comes to where they tell you there is an existing puppy install on the partition where I want to install i did not choose wipe. It always says that when it is not true when there is another full install puppy installed. I have just created the partition and formated it with gparted. I choose wipe last week installing precise puppy and it wiped out another partition where I had another puppy install but still installed puppy on the blank partition i just created. So after that i never choose wipe. For some reason it saw the other puppy install i wanted to keep and thought it was on the partition i wanted to install the new puppy. I have not had any issues after that in precise 5.7.1 by not choosing wipe.
