slacko 5.6, Grub4Dos doesn't install

#1 Post by soop »

Hi..I installed Slacko 5.6 frugal. I need to install grub4dos on partition (not on MBR) but he gives me the error:

"Some components are lacking to perform this function:/usr/lib/grub4dos/chain.c32, extlinux/syslinux(version >= 4.0)"

then the log is

" /usr/sbin/grub4dosconfig PBS
version 1.8.0
mer 5 feb 2014, 23.09.54, CET
Writing... /mnt/sda3/menu.lst
Installing grldr ...
‘/usr/lib/grub4dos/grldr’ -> ‘/mnt/sda3/grldr’ "

Can somebody help me ? Thanks.

Is this a partition formatted ext4?

From Grub4dos help
Installing on the PBS of ext4 partitions requires extlinux-v4.x and chain.c32. If the version of the extlinux is less than 4.0 or lacking the 'chain.c32', you need to install them. To know the version of your system, type 'extlinux --version' on the terminal.
I placed a link to your problem in the Grub4dos topic.
Hopefully, the developer of Grub4dos, will add some help for you.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
