But:
This may only work, if another Mint-Version is on the disk .. and a bootloader is even there on.
exemplification:
sda1: LinuxMint-Isadora9
sda2: LMDE
HTH!

Re: Linux Mint Debian (201012) released!
For those who got the 32 bits edition, and are installing it using a USB (unetbootin): a found a solution:
First you gotta know what unti is your USB, in my case is /dev/sdb
Now, boot the live USB, get down until you're in "compatibilty mode", then press tab for editing. After "xforcevesa" put "nomodeset" and enter.
Just wait, and you''ll see the live USB begin with a 800*600 resolution
Now install LMDE (the steps are obvious, i won't say them), and wait until it's complete.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you got stucked in "Configuring bootloader" for a big while, quit the installation and reboot. Then use the live USB . . . again (yeah, i know it's so hard . . .)
Now, get down until you're in "compatibilty mode", then press tab for editing. After "xforcevesa" put "nomodeset", and where it says "root = /dev/ram", replaces ram for the unit of your usb, in this case sdb and enter.
Now, you got LMDE installed but grub is screwed, let's get going . . .
First, you gotta know what's the partition where you installed LMDE, open a root terminal a type:
"mount /dev/sda2 /mnt" (sda2 is in this case the partition where you installed LMDE)
"mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev"
"mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc"
then . . .
"chroot /mnt"
"grub-install --recheck /dev/sda" (here it's sda because got to be installed in all the Hard Drive)
Then, reboot WITHOUT the live USB, and enter in LMDE, just login normal, now you got the SO normally installed.
Open the root terminal and type:
"update-grub2" and wait until it's complete.
If that command didn't work, type this:
"aptitude install grub2" and follw the steps.
NOW you got LMDE 32 bits Installed successfuly.

Oh, i forgot to say something: I got a Nvidia VGA, for ATI, i think instead "nomodeset" it's "radeon.modeset=0"
Re: Linux Mint Debian (201012) released!
Hello @ all, who got problems with Xmas-LMDE-32bit ..
I think,
the better way is .. to wait until January2011 ..
Clem says in his blog,
that a remastered 32bit-iso-LMDE is coming out on Jan.2011.
(because of the troubles, which are on the last release)

LMDE:
* We’re currently addressing the “Black Screen of Death” bug and re-spinning the 32-bit ISO which is likely to be released sometime this week as “201101″ to avoid confusion with the current ISO. This bug is preventing many people from running the live CD.
Re: Linux Mint Debian (201012) released!
I installed LMDE 32bit on VirtualBox VM running on an aging iMac (I'm getting closer to just wiping the iMac and installing LM), and it works great directly from the .iso, however, when I try to install it, I eventually get a menu which scans for partitions (there 20 GiB available in VM). The menu follows one which asks about keyboard layout. I then "edit" partitions, Gparted starts and shows my 20 GiB unallocated space. I'm tempted to create a partition table but don't really have a clue re the details.
Any help here greatly appreciated.

The most important to remember is to separate root and home partition. Assuming you allocates 512 MB RAM to the VM:albert wrote:I installed LMDE 32bit on VirtualBox VM running on an aging iMac (I'm getting closer to just wiping the iMac and installing LM), and it works great directly from the .iso, however, when I try to install it, I eventually get a menu which scans for partitions (there 20 GiB available in VM).

I forgot to mention three important things:
- Please do not download the ISO until it is officially announced (We’ll be releasing 201101 shortly but it’s not available yet. If you managed to download it already, you’re just running the wrong ISO.)
- If you downloaded 201012 and you’re getting a black screen you can try the following kernel arguments: “nomodeset” for nvidia, “nouveau.modeset=0″ for nforce/gforce and generic, “radeon.modeset=0″ for ATI cards. This should let you boot the live session and install LMDE. Post-install you’ll be running an up-to-date kernel, so you won’t need to modify your grub settings for things to work.
- The upcoming 201101 ISO should work fine for most chipsets in normal or compatibility modes without using any modesetting kernel arguments. I could personally observe that on two nvidia and one intel systems. We’ll be testing the ISO on more systems, including ATI chipsets, before releasing it.

Re: Linux Mint Debian (201012) released!
201101 came out today and it works like a charm on my Dell inspiron 1525 (as if I expected anything less )
Re: Linux Mint Debian (201012) released!
I downloaded 201101 I am still having the black screen issue on this release. I have an intel 82830 graphics chip. xforcevesa and nomodeset. I can try stuff if someone give me instructions. But I don't know a lot of linux. any help would be great.
The blog says i915.modeset=0 but I am not sure where to put that it doesn't seem to work.
Any help would be great.
Laptop is a Dell Latitude C400 with 1gb ram.

Re: Linux Mint Debian (201012) released!
Humm, are there any drafts for gnu/kfreebsd version of mint (not linux, i know, this means that it would be MintBSD or BSDMint)
I would surly use kfreebsd-mint for my desktop and make sure it has zfs installed.

Why not Mintify all the distros ? ...That would keep Clem and the crew busy for a whileJamesM wrote:Humm, are there any drafts for gnu/kfreebsd version of mint (not linux, i know, this means that it would be MintBSD or BSDMint)
