ZMLive cd 1.22.2 installation problems

Post by cerelli »

I made a ZMLiveCD 1.22.2.
After the installation start, the result is a black screen.

(sorry for my english :oops: )

I'm not sure why yet. But when I rebooted following an intall of the ZMLiveCD 1.22.2 to Hard disk (That had a previous Fedora install on it)
I was at a 'black screen'. Well a grub> prompt.
Anyway to boot I typed:

grub> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.17.rdm1.smp root/dev/hda1

grub> boot

Remember to use tab key to autocomplete long filenames.
Bingo! it loaded up :)

Ah, but the Install CD wanted to use LILO right? My previous GRUB is lying around here!
So I drop to a Shell and type sudo lilo -M /dev/hda
Boots up for me now using LILO instead.
