Hello everybody:
I want to dual-boot KolibriOS with Syllable Desktop, but when I select KolibriOS to boot, the following appears on the screen:
Booting 'KolibriOS'
kernel (hd0,3)/boot/memdisk
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x600, size=0x4658]
MEMDISK 3.36 2007-02-10 Copyright 2001-2007 H. Peter Anvin
MEMDISK: No ramdisk image specified!
I used the Memdisk version I found in the newest KolibriOS package.
Can anyone help me out?

I don't have Linux myself now, so I can't check it for you, but it's working.
Here is a complete installation instruction (it is also available inside the distribution ZIP file that you have downloaded):

Look for section II. Install to hard disk.

kernel (hd0,3)/boot/memdisk
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x600, size=0x4658]
so, set your initrd to (hd0,3)/boot/kolibri.img
That's all.

D-Kontroller, are you sure that kernel+initrd are in the same section? Assuming that kolibri.img resides in the same folder /boot as memdisk, this should be like
Code: Select all
label KolibriOS
kernel (hd0,3)/boot/memdisk
initrd (hd0,3)/boot/kolibri.img
in consequtive lines.
If this still doesn't work, try
Code: Select all
label KolibriOS
kernel (hd0,3)/boot/memdisk
append initrd=(hd0,3)/boot/kolibri.img
