I wonder if you could help. I've built a floppy as per http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/Lin...dBootDisk.html the GRUB instructions. The Mandriva 2006.0 free that I put on my hard drive starts to Uncompressing Linux... but then after a second or so gets ran out of input data -- System halted. Can anyone see what I did wrong. I didn't include the splash screen line. default=0 timeout=10 title Linux 2.6 root (hd0,10) it is on hda11 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-12mdk ro root=/dev/hda11 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.12-12mdk.img I put the above into menu.lst and grub.conf on the floppy just in case.
