Re: [SOLVED]Archck boot Error 15: File not found

initrd /initrd26.img

initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.15-archck.img

You gotta be kidding me. For crying out loud! Um, I have no excuse, I was having a rough day at work and was preoccupied, but even still...oh well. Thanks for the help.

Had to take out
savedefault
boot
as well as fix the initrd line for it to boot.

Got some other errors but at least it boots into archck now. Thanks again.

FYI, you never need to put 'boot' in your grub menu - it's only used if you're booting directly from the grub CLI.

Re: [SOLVED]Archck boot Error 15: File not found

I have got similar problem, normaly everything boots just fine.

When I add savedefault to grub entry I got Error 15: can not find a file.
Removing savedefault solves a problem.
On other machine with Ubuntu, savedefault works without problems.
Is there something tricky with Arch grub version?
