Comments/Problems:
I?have discovered 2 type of problem, the first problem regard the installation
Of GRUB installer into the / partitions utilizing option /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 to store the installer, at the reboot the installer star correctly bat when I choose to start one of the operating system (linux from usb storage system or windows xp from c: Ide hard drive) the system don?t start showing in first case /dev/sda1 don?t mount file system in second case windows xp don?t start showing the message cylinder +1 and freeze all.
This situation don?t occur when use installer lilo boot system,bat at the end installation at the reboot lilo start correctly from usb storage system (don?t show windows xp) bat when arrive to load the system same errors occours explained below:
SCSI Subsystem Initialized (last line correctly loaded)
Pivot_root : no such file or directory
/sbin/init :432:cannot open dev/console: no such file
Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init!
The system at this time freezed.
I have tried all kernel and all installation type expert,expert26 ect. Bat the errors occurred however.
