Cannot add grub to new partition for grml.

I tried to install grml2hd and all worked fine until I tried to add grub to the /dev/sda16 partition and the grub install failed. Error was that I had to force the grub because it was a BAD idea to load grub that was not at the mbr???? . There is a grub-install with the grml64 live edition but it failed, too. Stephen J.

It should have worked. Please install virtualbox-ose-guest-utils and run: /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose-guest-utils start or load the vbox kernel modules manually. regards, Ulrich

Just run as root: aptitude update aptitude install virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-2.6.31-grml (or grml64 if you use grml64) > how do i resolve this, is there something else i have to install, than > linux-headers-generic like linux-headers or linux-headers-2.6.31-grml It should be enough to just install the provided guest-modules. You can also build the guest modules yourself (not recommend), just install virtualbox-ose-guest-source and kernel headers for your current kernel. Then you can use module-assistent to build the virtualbox guest-additions for your current kernel. regards, Ulrich

Hi The guest additions and modules need to be installed on Windows 7. grml does not know that it is inside virtual box. The virtual box site does not list a separate download for this so I think your question is better addressed to forums.virtualbox.org Good Luck Maurice -- Best Wishes -- Best Wishes

grml-rebuildfstab behavior changed
by T o n g 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

Hi, My current grml-rebuildfstab build entries in fstab using labels, like this: LABEL=TOOLS /mnt/TOOLS ... but I noticed that grml-rebuildfstab from grml64-medium_2009.10-rc1 behaves different. It buils fstab entries like, /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 Is this the intended behavior? How can I get the label-fstab-entries back? thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/

Release Candidate 1 of grml 2009.10 available - Netboot-Package
by Ralf Moll 30 Okt '09

30 Okt '09

Hi Mika and Team, thanks for the hard work. I'm downloading right now. I also wanted to test the PXE Part, but on http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=terminalserver#grml_netboot_packages The Netboot-Files are missing, so I tried manually http://grml.org/terminalserver/grml_netboot_package_grml_2009.10.tar.bz2 but got 404. Do I have to extract the needed files manually? cu, Ralf

the linux cookbook
by Josh 28 Okt '09

28 Okt '09

Hi, wow I did not know I could read the linux cookbook online until I did a google search for it and found it online. But here's a problem I need to overcome, and if anyone has already overcome this being blind, can you share how you did it? Ok, so for me to practically use this cookbook, I will need to: *be able to somehow read the book and then go to my computer and follow the directions. so I would need two computers? one to read the book on, and another to have grml Linux on. or *have a braille copy of the Linux cookbook so I therefore only need one computer and can read the braille copy to refer back to.
