I try to boot Linux mint 3.01 (KDE) from the iso (because I have no DVD or CD) but I encounter some diffculties during the boot process. Perhaps somebody can help me.
I make mount the iso in my standard distro with
- Code: Select all
mount -o loop mint.iso /everywhere
and copy all the files to an partition on my HD and in a folder (sda7 -> boot).
Then I edit the menu.lst in grub like:
- Code: Select all
title mint 3.01
kernel (hd0,6)/boot/casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=(hd0,6)/boot/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/ram rw quiet splash --
initrd (hd0,6)/boot/casper/initrd.gz
It is the same like in the isolinux.cfg
But mint didn't start, I only come to a console. The entry
- Code: Select all
cat casper.log
gives:
- Code: Select all
stdin: error 0
/init: /init: 1: cannot open /dev/scd0: no medium found
/init: /init: 1: cannot open /dev/scd0: no medium found
Because this part file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed seems to be some kind of strange I tried it with the option fromiso (I know that some iso work very fine with that option):
- Code: Select all
title mint 3.01
kernel (hd0,6)/boot/casper/vmlinuz fromiso=(hd0,6)/mint3.01.iso boot=casper initrd=(hd0,6)/boot/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/ram rw quiet splash --
initrd (hd0,6)/boot/casper/initrd.gz
Here mint didn't start too.
Does someone can tell me a grub entry that work?
