So, long story short, got a virus on Arch Linux, had to remove all of my partitions dedicated to Arch. I decided to boot into my Debian CD since it was the only CD that had an easy install, and would work.
So I was browsing on Ubuntu, and I found
this. It told me I could install Ubuntu from an existing Linux distro on my computer. So I followed the steps, and installed the programs using Synaptic which apparently came with Debian. Everything worked, and when I came to Step 4, when it told me to restart my computer and select installer from the menu entries, it gave me this error: "You have to load the kernel first, click to continue...". I didn't really see the problem.
I did google it, and it brought me to
this. Here's my custom menu-entry from the grub.d folder:
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry "installer" {
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,2)
linux /casper/vmlinuz boot=casper root=/dev/ram1 ramdisk_size=1048576 rw
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-686-pae
}The only thing I could change from the thing I googled was initrd. It was previously casper, but casper wasn't a folder in my filesystem, so I changed that to boot. Now, it still gives me the error, even after I use
update-grub. I know I make a lot of help topics for Linux, but this time I really need help, so please help me.
