Re: Boot troubles

Hello.

I can't boot my Debian (

I installed Windows XP, it setted it's own code in MBR. I wasn't
confused, I just inserted first DVD of Debian GNU/Linux Sarge in
DVD-ROM, but then I understood... The kernels on DVD doesn't support my
reiserfs filesystem!

Now I'm really stoped. I don't know, what to do and how to run GRUB from
my system...

I can't download some LiveCD distributive with reiserfs support because
my internet is very limited. I can't by it because of "living at small
town somewhere in Russia"...

May be there is some solution how to install GRUB with it's settings in
my MBR again?

Respect,
Plus.


First, try to get Etch if you have posibilities. It has much newer software.

Anyway, Sarge should support reiserfs, even if kernels does not, you
need only to install grub and it does support reiserfs. As I can
remember, you need to enter "expert2.6" at Install CD boot prompt to get
all options.
