Setting up asterisk@home 1.3 boot loader install fails

Perhaps this is more of a GRUB question.

My install hangs on the installation of GRUB.

Hitting F3 reveals that this is running:

Code:

* GRUB command root (hd0,0) install /grub/stage1 d (hd0) /grub/stage2 p (hd0,0)/grub/grub.conf

I am installing this on a VIA 800mhz Mini-ITX with a generic Digium FXO PCI card and an old WD 10.2 GB HDD..if this matter.

Any clues?

Any other recomendations?

Hi.
I have a lab system on almost the same hardware, That loaded OK.
Stupid question.. Is the HD on the first IDE connector?
Also what was on the Harddrive before ?
might be worth blanking the MBR of the disk

Hope that gives a pointer

Ian

Thanks for the excellent tip Ian.

HDD is on the first IDE connector (but the obvious is never a stupid question)

But This is an old HD that used to have win98, w2k, and Linux on it. After lilo died due to me doing something stupid (I foret what) I put in a Copy of Acronis boot Selector..perhaps that is the problem.

I will check it out and report back.

I got the same problem and found out what was going wrong

I also run on a VIA MiniITX 800MHz board.

You cannot use the A@H ISO. It isnt configured to run on a I586 CPU witch is on those boards.

Install CentOS 3.4
Install A@H tarball (edit the makefile, remove the # before i586 before compiling).

Yah, I got a bug during the install.

Before getting CentOS I think I may try it with NetBSD (btw I really reecomend netBSD for an OS on lower end hardware..it really is fast) and figure out what I need to make and Asterisk@home clone with NetBSD.

If that doesn't work I will try CentOS 3.4.

Thanks for the tips and I will post an update.
