Software :: Make A Bootable Grub2 CD - Stage2_eltorito Missing
Jun 7, 2011
I need to make a bootable grub2 CD. The instructions refer to /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2_eltorito. It is not supplied. Is it available separately, or do I need to build it myself? If so, how?
Today, I used the Update Manager to do my first post-installation update of Ubuntu 9.10. I have a multi-boot setup (Ubuntu / WinXP), using GRUB2. Before the update, I had 5 options: Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic (recovery mode) Memory test (memtest86+) Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)
[Code]...
Is it valid that the -14- has remained in the list? Surely I can only boot -20- now? How should I get rid of this version since it is added by update-grub because of the existence of this file: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic,Should I delete the file or just rename it? Or is there a better way?
I have an asus pc, and its network hardware is not recognized by debian, the drivers are not even in the list provided during the installation process. I managed to download them from another pc, but if i try to make them and install them, i'm stucked because Make is not installed on debian (nor is sudo).So i need a connection to install the drivers that provide me a co0nnections..

I'm using Truecrypt to encrypt my Windows 7 OS. I also have unencrypted Ubuntu 10.04 installed on /dev/sda6 on the same hard drive. Since Truecrypt bootloader must be installed in MBR, I have GRUB2 installed on /dev/sda6, so I can use TC bootloader to load GRUB2. When I first install GRUB2 on /dev/sda6, I can use TC bootloader to load Ubuntu. But, if I boot into Windows via TC bootloader, and then later try to boot into Ubuntu, I get the message "no bootable partition found". I have to reinstall GRUB2 onto /dev/sda6, every time after I use windows in order to be able to boot into Ubuntu. It seems that starting Windows somehow overwrites GRUB2. Is there a fix for this?
I just downloaded Ubuntu 9.04 while using the 8.10 live cd. I was planning to burn it to a disc, but I forgot all about the live cd issue. So is there anyway I can burn Ubuntu 9.04 without having to download it to a real os. Or can I make a bootable usb with the live cd of 8.10.

I have tried to make the usb in both ubuntu and win7 with the same results. I have created a working usb boot before but with an older version. I have come across this problem sometime ago when I tried to burn kubunt on a cd. Think it was the 10.04 version.
I'd like to make a bootable usb that can save more than 4gb of changes, but I don't see a way to use anything other than FAT format when using the disk creator. I can format the hard drive in ext, but creator always reformats in FAT.

i have been doing a house clearance and come across an old laptop nothing special but its old running windows 95 i think any way i have used dsl b4 as a bak up incase my pc went dawn haw do i get rid of windows and run dsl on this laptop as it only has a floppy drive and a 2.5 gig hard drive its a relik i know this but instead of throwing it away i thout that putting dsl on it i could make a web browser out of it just for fun is it possable to make a bootable floppy to run the new os on the laptop.
I have a very usefull Floppy Disk, when I boot from it, it boots into a Windows 95 menu, the initial screen has various options including an option to press shift + F5, when this is done it shows the command prompt A:. I have added various utilities to the floppy myself ie- fdisk, format, chkdisk, efdisk, xcopy, an early Norton Ghost, etc, etc. So I can partition a new hard disk, format it, delete partitions, ghost a disk, etc, etc, very handy. But floppies are becoming obsolete. I have tried burning the contents of this floppy to a CD, but I can't boot from this CD. I have tried various bootable CD programs from the net, including Ultimate Boot CD, but none of them work very well. I would like to make a bootable CD that will simply boot any computer with either a --new blank, unpartitioned, unformatted Hard Disk -- a hard disk with Windows, -- a hard disk with a Linux Distro, etc. When booting from this CD, it will boot to a command prompt, enabling me to start any program that I have added to the CD myself, ie fdisk, format, etc, etc.
I'm trying to use alien bobs usb wiki to make a bootable usb slack installer. the syslinux part was easy and worked fine but adding the package tree has proved a bit confusing, I was trying to use the cp and mv commands to get the immages from my slack 13 iso but I had stumbled accross a way of using the dd command and can't seem to find the information again.
recently i had a crush on my computer caused by a power surge, had to reinstall the os since i couldnt boot.
the installation went clean and everything is working very well since but i am having a strange issue with grub - its missing ?
when i boot the computer start with default kernel and no grub menu is visual for me to choose from.
i tried to purge and reinstall grub2 grub-common and grub-pc packages, tried various things found on the grub2 faq pages including booting from livecd and reinstalling.
it appears as grub is installed correctly but its not running at boot ? dunno ?
i'm using ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS x64 on intel E2180 with 2gb ram.
