I installed Zmlarch with all options by default in a new hard drive. During install i didn't receive any kind of error msg. The problem is I can't boot up from it. I turn on the pc and receive a msg saying "No bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key".
The disk is SATAII and is detected correctly by the bios.
I browsed the hard drive after installing and all the Zmlarch files are in there, the partitions were created indeed.
I tried with other hard drive which has windows installed and it does boot, so there is no problem with any bios setting.
I think the problem lies in the GRUB installation. I tried selecting both the default option of installing to MBR and the other to install to installation partition. Same error with both.
Can you help pls?
No bootable device after installing Zmlarch
[FIXED] No bootable device after installing Zmlarch
I fixed this problem by running "sudo gparted" (cause the link in menu does not work as it doesn't give root access to gparted) and then I setted the BOOT flag to the partition were /boot was.
I did this before with fdisk and didn't work, don't know why. Also Gparted reported that the partitions were formated with ext2 when in the installer it said ext4.
