[SOLVED] Stretch puppy 7.5 uefi-k4.19

#1 Post by fjd »

I downloaded the 32-bit iso on this article and produced an iso. I loaded the usb onto the ASUS Atom laptop and it gave me the program. I then thought that I installed it onto the SSD however when I boot up (twice) it gives me a dos-like window showing:
error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found

Entering rescue mode...

grub rescue> (blinking cursor)

Please help someone.

Your machine tries to boot with grub2.
Grub2 starts but grub2 does not find the modules it needs. They are in the wrong place? ... not there at all? ... ?

How did you install Puppy on SSD?
How did you put grub2 on SSD?
Is this UEFI or legacy boot?

I suggest you try frugalpup from gyro to install to SSD. It is in this forum.
It is a Puppy tool that can install any Puppy on (almost) any drive.
