Prövade att installera debian i en virtuell maskin. Grub startar upp även om jag så väljer 4MB ram. Härifrån går självklart inte operativet att starta upp eftersom det inte finns minne nog.
Problemet borde således ha att göra med grub, vilket tar mig tillbaka till frågan, hur sätter man upp en debianinstallation utan grub som bootloader?
Försökt lite att installera lilo från chroot, men det är minst sagt problematiskt.
Genom en del googlande har jag hittat några möjliga lösningar på grubs "out of disk"
"The problem I realised was caused by the bios not having the correct disk size! Hopefully this helps someone"
"had this same problem last night, and I tried to reinstall several times with no luck, each time getting an "Out of Disk" afterwards. (This is with an 80gig drive, which has plenty of room) Each time I went through, I let Ubuntu set up the partitions on the whole drive. This seems to be the problem! Based on info from another post, it seems like specifying partitions yourself solves the problem."
"the size of my Hard drive cylinders is the issue. (I think it's about 1024 or something like that).
Anyway, the solution is, you need to make the first primary partition small, and mount it as your boot directory (/boot). So you'll probably have to format and reinstall your OS again.
The site I read suggested 200MB - 1GB, I made mine 50MB which is still very big. Create your other 2 partitions, root (/) and swap, or however you want them, and continue on."
Så jag ska försöka ominstallera maskinen igen och partitionera själv, så får vi se hur det går.
