Topic: Gparted with grub4dos - resolved

I would like to integrate gparted to a grub4dos (cd multiboot), but when gparted booting i have the message kernel paning unable to mount root.

I use the same syntax in the syslinux, menu.lst:
TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile_GRUB%"," ","Append"

TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile_GRUB%","title GParted Live modif","Append"

TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile_GRUB%","kernel /live/vmlinuz1","Append"

TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile_GRUB%","initrd=/live/initrd1.img boot=live union=aufs    noswap acpi=off irqpoll noapic noapm nodma nomce nolapic nosmp ip=frommedia nolocales vga=normal" ","Append"


I use gparted-live-0.3.9-13
What is the syntax for mount root for cd multiboot?
   
I have VistaPe which does not include syslinux
thanks

Re: Gparted with grub4dos - resolved

Hello r140,

I would like to integrate gparted to a grub4dos (cd multiboot) ...

"menu.lst"-syntax (GRUB4DOS):

title GParted Live (0.3.9-13)
kernel /live/vmlinuz1 boot=live union=aufs    noswap noprompt vga=791 acpi=off irqpoll noapic noapm nodma nomce nolapic nosmp nolocales
initrd /live/initrd1.img


"syslinux.cfg"-syntax (Syslinux):
MENU LABEL GParted Live (0.3.9-13)
kernel /live/vmlinuz1
append initrd=/live/initrd1.img boot=live union=aufs    noswap noprompt vga=791  acpi=off irqpoll noapic noapm nodma nomce nolapic nosmp nolocales

Note :
1. You can omit "ip=frommedia", because it's the default value.
2. "filesystem.squashfs" has to be in directory "/live", too.
3. Syntax for GRUB4DOS and Syslinux are not identical, but easy to convert.

Hope, this helps
cmdr

This project is based on VistPE by Nightman (www.vistape.net) and includes scripts and code freely available from several users. Most of it comes from www.boot-land.net.
All code taken from public sources is free to use for anyone, but the package you have here also contains many improvements and code made by me, Markus Debus (vpe@markus-debus.de).
If you plan to publish a release based on this or if you want to offer anything from this for download, please contact me first and ask for permission. Thanks.
