Installed puppy 32x v19.03 from cd to a 4TB sata drive
hanging from a sata pci port card ....

gparted to 2+2TB to sda1 ext4 boot & sda2 ntfs

installed puppy 32x using all defaults ...

grub starts, says it can't boot the kernel upupbb19.03frugal from (hd0,0), why ?

next,
boot puppy from cd puppy 19.03, it recognizes sda1, sda2, and runs puppy
from sda1, recognizes all installed apps, I can install new apps, copy files, seems to run fine ... why ?

Check if the files are there, what's in the file bootconfig ?

Give specific details how you did the install?
Used a specific program?
Manual copy install?
Full install or frugal install?
Frugal is best way.
What?

any other Operating Systems on the drive?
If yes.
What OS's?
