dsl-hdinstall

had no error,then i reboot,but the screen stop at the cursor _
who can tell me why?My Webpage

If you choose scsi emulation this is a problem, choose a custom setup on vmware and use an ide emulation and repeat the steps. Also I have seen little or no difference running a swap file under vmware. I generally just use one partition and no swap. Also to make it as fast as possible allocate all the space when you create the partition.:)

3ks ,is ok now
use the command mkliloboot

Hi Jerylin,
Excuse me for bothering you. I am new in linux.
I met the same problems as you.
I use VMWARE with DSL 2.4.ISO to try to install it on Hard Disk.
I did have done by following document, but after booting I can't see any thing, only black screen.
cfdisk /dev/hda ( I cfdisk four partitions, one is /dev/sda1 (boot), another is /dev/sda2 (/), /dev/sda3 , other is /dev/sda5 (swap)
mkswap /dev/sda5
swapon /dev/sda5
dsl-hdinstall ===> choose to put data into /dev/sda3
then rebooting

I search on google, but still can't figure out why it can't boot.

I tried to do the sam as you, tried to execute mkliloboot, but I can't find mkliloboot.

would you please tail me to fix it ?

thank you very much.

I have installed DSL 2.4 in my HD.
But I can't find the "mkliloboot", I use "dsl-installboot" and I can't use grub to be my boot loader, only can use lilo.
