The solution is not going to work unless you have an > OS installed. Original problem is about the installed OS, that is why details like /dev/sda6 and mention of GRUB being on /dev/sda6 rather than on MBR. http://plug.org.in/pipermail/plug-mail/2009-January/005411.html Mention of LiveCD may have confused you, but my intention was that vmlinux is missing from LiveCD *as well*. Here are the steps I did : 1. Boot from DVD shipped with LFY Dec 208 2. Select "Ubuntu Live" environment 3. When booted into Live env. selected "Install" 4. Pointed to /dev/sda6 as root, provided a small partition for "swap" 5. In Boot loader dialog, clicked "Advanced" and asked GRUB to be installed on /dev/sda6 instead of MBR 6. Let the installation finish. 7. Copied first 512 bytes of /dev/sda6 using "dd" command into file "ubuntu.bin" 8. Copied "ubuntu.bin" onto "C:" 9. Edited C:\boot.ini, and added entry "C:\ubuntu.bin="Ubuntu 8.10" 10. Rebooted, selected "Ubuntu" from Windows Bootloader 11. Got "only" memtest option I hope you clarifies the problem. -Mandar -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to plug-mail-requ...@plug.org.in for mailing instructions.
