How to install Salix with Grub2 instead of LILO.

[Freco]

When I reboot, I just have a quick "grub" written, but I have no menu... just a black screen...

Sure that this is the message? No "Welcome to Grub"? Or are you maybe getting a grub rescue shell prompt like this 'grub>'?

I haven't the time to read, but the message seems to be "Welcome to grub".

Yes! It's works now!

I don't understand why grub 2 didn't want to work with salix-fluxbox and salix-ratpoison on my old 12 years old computer, so I install on another partition Crunchbang, and the grub recognize well both Salix partitions!
So now I can test and compare on my 800 MHz Pentium 3: Swift Linux / Salix-fluxbox / Salix-ratpoison / Crunchbang and maybe I'll add a Livarp Linux.

Wouf! It's wasn't easy! I suppose my old hardware hasn't keep this task easy, but now it's ok!


Thanks for your advices!

Hardware is probably completely unrelated here. It seems to me as if something went wrong during the grub-install steps that prevented some files from getting properly installed or loaded.
