Thank you for a fantastic LIVE-DVD

my problem is after install. When reboot, I'll get the message insert boot media. I've tried all kinds of things install to reserFS, changed the grub.conf file .... I've checked if my device is listed with the command dmesg. It is!!! I really want to install it on my harddrive. Is there anybody out there_

Hi Masen,

ahh - i think it's a little bug :( - i forgot to remove the grub device.map file.
Check it out:
Boot the DVD, click on Terminal in the panel and type in:And then start the harddisk installation.

I deleted the file, now at boot it only waits no message at all. Still something....
Thank you for your help.

Ok, can you tell me the installation device? ( /dev/sda3 ) for example.

In this case I only have one HD connected! I'm installing on a 16 GB ext4 partition and sda2 is Linux SWAP (512 MB). I'm not very aquinted with GRUB bootloader and the installation script but I don't have any windows installation on the system (the other HDD:s is unplugged or this time I unmounted them), anyway I get the question about windows and toorox order in the OS-choice-list. Excuse my english, I hope my explanation is sufficient.

Ok, then try to install the bootloader from grub shell:

Toorox was installed on /dev/sda1. So boot the DVD
and start a terminal - type in:Now type in:and then:Shutdown the system and start your installed Toorox from HD.

Looked fine in GRUB, rebooted and:

VFS: Cannot open root device "sdc1" or unknown-block (0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
1640 80418240 hdd driver: ide-gd
usb 3-1 new low speed USB device using uhci_hdc and address 2
1641 16779861 hdd1

Pid 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.34 gentoo-r3 #1

Call Trace:............. und zu weiter (I did not write down all the rows I think the problem already is clear?

I will try to find out how to include the "root=" boot option

You will find it in /boot/grub/grub.conf of your installed system.You can also add a root (hdx,x) line - for example:

I just changed it in grub.conf from sdc1 to hdd1. Now its up and running. Thank you very much!!! I just want to clear the fixed devices list because there is my other partitions but they do not exsist.
