Face Detection & Recognition using Tensor Flow: A Review
Face recognition has become a popular topic of research recently due to increases in demand for security as well as the rapid development of mobile devices. There are many applications which face recognition can be applied to such as access control, identity verification, security systems, surveillance systems, and social media networks. Access control includes offices, computers, phones, ATMs, etc. Most of these forms currently do not use face recognition as the standard form of granting entry, but with advancing technologies in computers along with more refined algorithms, facial recognition is gaining some traction in replacing passwords and fingerprint scanners. Ever since the events of 9/11 there has been a more concerned emphasis on developing security systems to ensure the safety of innocent citizens. Namely in places such as airports and border crossings where identification verification is necessary, face recognition systems potentially have the ability to mitigate the risk and ultimately prevent future attacks from occurring. As for surveillance systems, the same point can be made if there are criminals on the loose. Surveillance cameras with face recognition abilities can aide in efforts of finding these individuals. Alternatively, these same surveillance systems can also help identify the whereabouts of missing persons, although this is dependent on robust facial recognition algorithms as well as a fully developed database of faces. And lastly, facial recognition has surfaced in social media applications on platforms such as Facebook which suggest users to tag friends who have been identified in pictures. It is clear that there are many applications the uses for facial recognition systems. In general, the steps to achieve this are the following: face detection, feature extraction, and lastly training a model.

Steubenville: Couple Admits Putting Kids in Plastic Boxes
An eastern Ohio couple has pleaded guilty to punishing their three children by forcing them into plastic storage boxes sealed with duct tape and only a square cut in the top for air.
A prosecutor said the children, ages 5, 6 and 8, were crammed into the boxes as punishment June 16 at the family home in Steubenville while the parents went to the grocery store and left two uncles at home with them.
WTOV-TV reports that the father, James Taylor, pleaded guilty Tuesday to two counts of child endangerment and one count of unlawful restraint. The plea deal calls for a year in jail.
Samantha Taylor pleaded guilty to the same charges and got two years of probation. The two other men pleaded guilty to unlawful restraint and got probation

Mark Motley State Business Plan Competition Gives Away Over $10,000 In Seed Money
Last Wednesday evening at the College of Charleston School of Business the top young entrepreneurs in South Carolina were competing in the finals of YEScarolina's Business Plan Competition. YEScarolina, Youth Entrepreneurship South Carolina, is a program partner of the national organization Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE). The event featured 15 budding entrepreneurs seeking to advance to the NFTE Finals to be held October 3rd in New York City. With a first place prize of $3,000 in seed capital and a spot in NFTE's National Challenge on the line, the stakes couldn't have been higher. The competition was much tougher than the previous year.
The coveted first place prize went to Evan Knox of Charleston Collegiate for his business Bullseye Web Designs. He was awarded $3,000 and will advance to the finals in NYC for a chance to compete against 40 other national winners for a chance to win $35,000. Second place and $2,000 prize went to Luke Varadi of Wando High School for his business Reel Fly Charters. Aquila Brown of Charleston Math & Science took home third place of $1,000 for her business Trusol Unique Designs. All the students that competed were awarded $250 as an appearance fee and the students from outside the tri-county area received $100 gas money and a hotel room for the evening. Joseph Long of Crescent High School in Anderson, SC did so well and tied for first in the preliminary round that Jimmy Bailey, executive director of YEScarolina, awarded him $500 for his business plan.
In April, students presented their full business plan to peers, teachers and a panel of judges from throughout the business community for a chance to win capital to support their business ideas. The first round of competitions took place in the classroom and the top three students from the Motley Rice Class Competition won seed money in the amounts of $250, $150 & $100, respectively. In May, those students moved on to compete in the Motley Rice County Business Plan competition in order to succeed to the State competition. At the State competition June 19th, students were divided into 3 rooms, each room consisting of 4 or 5 students. Students had only 8.5 minutes to pitch their business ideas to a panel of judges who were distinguished business owners from the Charleston area such as Jack Hurley of Mex1 & Jack's Cosmic Dog's, Daniel James of Las Olas, Adam Witty of Advantage Media Group, Carolyn James of Motley Rice Law, & Sam Whetsel of MyPhoneMD to name a few.
"Judging the competition was a blast! Watching the kids present and put in so much effort, it was obvious that this experience will be a confidence builder and motivator for them to be entrepreneurial as they move forward with their lives. They certainly could not have gotten that by reading a book or sitting in class. Thanks to everyone at YEScarolina for their hard work in putting this program together!" said judge Jason Smith attorney at Hellman Yates & Tisdale of the experience.
Five different cities and twelve different schools were represented in the competition. The event was made possible by the generous donations of the Mark Motley Foundation.
Hacker Burr, headmaster of Charleston Collegiate, and YEScarolina Founder and Jimmy Bailey, both speak loudly of the value of the entrepreneurship classes, pointing to the fact that students must be a master of all subjects to develop and present a solid business plan. The process requires keen data analysis and strategic decision making skills, research skills, writing skills, tech skills, presentation skills, and math skills. Finally and perhaps most importantly, the business plan competition successfully teaches personal skills. Now Evan & YEScarolina head to New York in October for a chance to establish a great reputation for his school and the program and an opportunity of a life time. The possibilities are endless with entrepreneurship.
"We are thrilled with the drive and creativity these young entrepreneurs demonstrate. For some, entrepreneurship could be the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Entrepreneurship provides an avenue for financial independence, a benefit to all. These young entrepreneurs are certainly shaping up to be the dynamic business leaders of the future," said YEScarolina Founder and Executive Director Jimmy Bailey.

GNU GRUB (Legacy) is a multiboot bootloader maintained by the GNU Project. It was derived from GRUB, the GRand Unified Bootloader, which was originally designed and implemented by Erich Stefan Boleyn.
Briefly, the bootloader is the first software program that runs when a computer starts. It is responsible for loading and transferring control to the Linux kernel. The kernel, in turn, initializes the rest of the operating system.

- 7 External resources
The GRUB package is installed by default when you install Arch Linux. If you previously decided not to install this package, you can install the grub package from the official repositories.
Additionally, GRUB must be installed to the boot sector of a drive or partition to serve as a bootloader. This is covered in the #Bootloader installation section.
The configuration file is located at
/boot/grub/menu.lst. Edit this file to suit your needs.
timeout #-- time to wait (in seconds) before the
defaultoperating system is automatically loaded.
default #-- the default boot entry that is chosen when the
timeouthas expired.
An example configuration (
/boot is on a separate partition):
# Config file for GRUB - The GNU GRand Unified Bootloader # /boot/grub/menu.lst # DEVICE NAME CONVERSIONS # # Linux GRUB # ------------------------- # /dev/fd0 (fd0) # /dev/sda (hd0) # /dev/sdb2 (hd1,1) # /dev/sda3 (hd0,2) # # FRAMEBUFFER RESOLUTION SETTINGS # +-------------------------------------------------+ # | 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 # ----+-------------------------------------------- # 256 | 0x301=769 0x303=771 0x305=773 0x307=775 # 32K | 0x310=784 0x313=787 0x316=790 0x319=793 # 64K | 0x311=785 0x314=788 0x317=791 0x31A=794 # 16M | 0x312=786 0x315=789 0x318=792 0x31B=795 # +-------------------------------------------------+ # for more details and different resolutions see # https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#Framebuffer_Resolution # general configuration: timeout 5 default 0 color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue # boot sections follow # each is implicitly numbered from 0 in the order of appearance below # # TIP: If you want a 1024x768 framebuffer, add "vga=773" to your kernel line. # #-* # (0) Arch Linux title Arch Linux root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda3 ro initrd /initramfs-linux.img # (1) Windows #title Windows #rootnoverify (hd0,0) #makeactive #chainloader +1
Finding GRUB's root
GRUB must be told where its files reside on the system, since multiple instances may exist (i.e., in multi-boot environments). GRUB files always reside under
/boot, which may be on a dedicated partition.
- Hard disks are defined as (hdX); this also refers to any USB storage devices.
- Device and partitioning numbering begin at zero. For example, the first hard disk recognized in the BIOS will be defined as (hd0). The second device will be called (hd1). This also applies to partitions. So, the second partition on the first hard disk will be defined as (hd0,1).
If you are unaware of the the location of
/boot, use the GRUB shell
find command to locate the GRUB files. Enter the GRUB shell as root by:
# grub
The following example is for systems without a separate
/boot partition, wherein
/boot is merely a directory under
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
The following example is for systems with a separate
/boot partition:
grub> find /grub/stage1
GRUB will find the file, and output the location of the
stage1 file. For example:
grub> find /grub/stage1
This value should be entered on the
root line in your configuration file. Type
quit to exit the shell.
Dual booting with Windows
Add the following to the end of your
/boot/grub/menu.lst (assuming that your Windows partition is on the first partition of the first drive):
title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1
boot.ini file to reflect the change (see this article for details on how to do that).
If Windows is located on another hard disk, the map command must be used. This will make your Windows install think it is actually on the first drive. Assuming that your Windows partition is on the first partition of the second drive:
title Windows map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) rootnoverify (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader +1
Dual booting with GNU/Linux
This can be done the same way that an Arch Linux install is defined. For example:
title Other Linux root (hd0,2) kernel /path/to/kernel root=/dev/sda3 ro initrd /path/to/initrd
/boot/grub/menu.lst to match boot options, or see #chainloader and configfile (recommended).
chainloader and
To facilitate system maintenance, the
chainloader or
configfile command should be used to boot another Linux distribution that provides an "automagic" GRUB configuration mechanism (e.g. Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE). This allows the distribution to manage its own
menu.lst and boot options.
- The
chainloadercommand will load another bootloader (rather than a kernel image); useful if another bootloader is installed in a partition's boot sector (GRUB, for example). This allows one to install a "main" instance of GRUB to the MBR and distribution-specific instances of GRUB to each partition boot record (PBR).
- The
configfilecommand will instruct the currently running GRUB instance to load the specified configuration file. This can be used to load another distribution's
menu.lstwithout a separate GRUB installation. The caveat of this approach is that other
menu.lstmay not be compatible with the installed version of GRUB; some distributions heavily patch their versions of GRUB.
For example, GRUB is to be installed to the MBR and some other bootloader (be it GRUB or LILO) is already installed to the boot sector of
--------------------------------------------- | | | | % | | M | | | B % | | B | (hd0,0) | (hd0,1) | L % (hd0,2) | | R | | | % | | | | | % | --------------------------------------------- | ^ | chainloading | -----------------------------
One can simply include in
title Other Linux root (hd0,2) chainloader +1
Or, if the bootloader on
(hd0,2) is GRUB:
title Other Linux root (hd0,2) configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst
chainloader command can also be used to load the MBR of a second drive:
title Other drive rootnoverify (hd1) chainloader +1
Dual booting with GNU/Linux (GRUB2)
If the other Linux distribution uses GRUB2 (e.g. Ubuntu 9.10+), and you installed its boot loader to its root partition, you can add an entry like this one to your
# other Linux using GRUB2 title Ubuntu root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/grub/core.img
Selecting this entry at boot will load the other distribution's GRUB2 menu assuming that the distribution is installed on
Bootloader installation
Manual recovery of GRUB libs
*stage* files are expected to be in
/boot/grub, which may not be the case if the bootloader was not installed during system installation or if the partition/filesystem was damaged, accidentally deleted, etc.
Manually copy the GRUB libs like so:
# cp -a /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/* /boot/grub
General notes about bootloader installation
GRUB may be installed from a separate medium (e.g. a LiveCD), or directly from a running Arch install. The GRUB bootloader is seldom required to be reinstalled and installation is not necessary when:
- The configuration file is updated.
- The grub package is updated.
Installation is necessary when:
- A bootloader is not already installed.
- Another operating system overwrites the Linux bootloader.
- The bootloader fails for some unknown reason.
Before continuing, a few notes:
- Be sure that your GRUB configuration is correct (
/boot/grub/menu.lst) before proceeding. Refer to #Finding GRUB's root to ensure your devices are defined correctly.
- GRUB must be installed on the MBR (first sector of the hard disk), or the first partition of the first storage device to be recognized by most BIOSes. To allow individual distributions the ability to manage their own GRUB menus, multiple instances of GRUB can be used, see #chainloader and configfile.
- Installing the GRUB bootloader may need to be done from within a
chrooted environment (i.e. from installed environment via a separate medium) for cases like RAID configurations or if you forgot/broke your GRUB installation. You will need to Change Root from a LiveCD or another Linux installation to do so.
First, enter the GRUB shell:
# grub
Use the
root command with the output from the
find command (see #Finding GRUB's root) to instruct GRUB which partition contains stage1 (and therefore,
grub> root (hd1,0)
Installing to the MBR
The following example installs GRUB to the MBR of the first drive:
grub> setup (hd0)
Installing to a partition
The following example installs GRUB to the first partition of the first drive:
grub> setup (hd0,0)
After running
setup, enter
quit to exit the shell. If you chrooted, exit your chroot and unmount partitions. Now reboot to test.
Alternate method (grub-install)
Use the
grub-install command followed by the location to install the bootloader. For example to install the GRUB bootloader to the MBR of the first drive:
# grub-install /dev/sda
GRUB will indicate whether it successfully installs. If it does not, you will have to use the GRUB shell method.
Tips and tricks
Additional configuration notes.
Graphical boot
For those desiring eye candy, see grub-gfx. GRUB2 also offers enhanced graphical capabilities, such as background images and bitmap fonts.
Framebuffer resolution
One can use the resolution given in the
menu.lst, but you might want to use your LCD wide-screen at its full native resolution. Here is what you can do to achieve this:
On Wikipedia, there is a list of extended framebuffer resolutions (i.e. beyond the ones in the VBE standard). But, for example, the one I want to use for 1440x900 (
vga=867) does not work. This is because the graphic card manufacturers are free to choose any number they wish, as this is not part of the VBE 3 standard. This is why these codes change from one card to the other (possibly even for the same manufacturer).
So instead of using that table, you can use one of the tools mentioned below to get the correct code:
GRUB recognized value
This is an easy way to find the resolution code using only GRUB itself.
On the kernel line, specify that the kernel should ask you which mode to use.
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda1 ro vga=ask
Now reboot. GRUB will now present a list of suitable codes to use and the option to scan for even more.
You can pick the code you would like to use (do not forget it, it is needed for the next step) and boot using it.
Now replace
ask in the kernel line with the correct one you have picked.
e.g. the kernel line for
[369] 1680x1050x32 would be:
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda1 ro vga=0x369
- Install hwinfo from [community].
- Run
hwinfo --framebufferas root.
- Pick up the code corresponding to the desired resolution.
- Use the 6 digit code with 0x prefix in
vga=kernel option in
menu.lst. Or convert it to decimal to avoid the use of 0x prefix.
Example output of hwinfo:
Mode 0x0364: 1440x900 (+1440), 8 bits Mode 0x0365: 1440x900 (+5760), 24 bits
And the kernel line:
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda1 ro vga=0x0365
- Install the lrmiAUR package from the AUR that contains the vbetest tool (x86_64 users will need to use #hwinfo above).
- Run
vbetestas root
- Then note the number in [ ] corresponding to your desired resolution.
- Press 'q' to quit vbetest interactive prompt.
- As an option, in a console as root, you can test the mode you just picked up by running
vbetest -m <yourcode>and see a pattern like this one
- As an option, in a console as root, you can test the mode you just picked up by running
- Add 512 to the discovered value picked up above and use the total value to define the
vga=parameter in the kernel options of
- Reboot to enjoy the result
For example vbetest on one computer:
[356] 1440x900 (256 color palette) [357] 1440x900 (8:8:8)
So here the number you want is 357. Then, 357 + 512 = 869, so you will use vga=869. Add your value to the end of the kernel line in
menu.lst as shown below:
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda1 ro vga=869
- (8:8:8) is for 24-bit color (24bit is 32bit)
- (5:6:5) is for 16-bit color
- (5:5:5) is for 15-bit color
Naming by label
If you alter (or plan to alter) partition sizes from time to time, you might want to consider defining your drive/partitions by a label. You can label ext2, ext3, ext4 partitions by:
e2label </dev/drive|partition> label
The label name can be up to 16 characters long but cannot have spaces for GRUB to understand it. Then define it in your
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/disk/by-label/Arch_Linux ro
Boot as root (single-user mode)
At the boot loader, select an entry and edit it ('e' key). Append the following parameters to the kernel options:
[...] single init=/bin/bash
This will start in single-user mode (init 1), i.e. you will end up to a root prompt without being asked for password. This may be useful for recovery features, like resetting the root password. However, this is a huge security flaw if you have not set any password protection for grub.
Password protection
You can enable password protection in the GRUB configuration file for operating systems you wish to have protected. Bootloader password protection may be desired if your BIOS lacks such functionality and you need the extra security.
First, choose a password you can remember and then encrypt it:
# grub-md5-crypt Password: Retype password: $1$ZOGor$GABXUQ/hnzns/d5JYqqjw
Then add your password to the beginning of the GRUB configuration file (the password must be at the beginning of the configuration file for GRUB to be able to recognize it):
# general configuration timeout 5 default 0 color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue password --md5 $1$ZOGor$GABXUQ/hnzns/d5JYqqjw
Then for each operating system you wish to protect, add the
lock command:
# (0) Arch Linux title Arch Linux lock root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/disk/by-label/Arch_Linux ro initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
It is always possible to reset your BIOS settings by setting the appropriate jumper on the motherboard (see your motherboard's manual, as it is specific to every model). So in case other have access to the hardware, there is basically no way to prevent boot breakthroughs.
Restart with named boot choice
If you realize that you often need to switch to some other non-default OS (e.g. Windows) having to reboot and wait for the GRUB menu to appear is tedious. GRUB offers a way to record your OS choice when restarting instead of waiting for the menu, by designating a temporary new default which will be reset as soon as it has been used.
Supposing a simple
menu.lst setup like this:
# general configuration: timeout 10 default 0 color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue # (0) Arch title Arch Linux root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH ro initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img # (1) Windows title Windows XP rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1
Arch is the default (0). We want to restart in to Windows. Change
default 0 to
default saved -- this will record the current default in a
default file in the GRUB directory whenever the savedefault command is used. Now add the line
savedefault 0 to the bottom of the Windows entry. Whenever Windows is booted, it will reset the default to Arch, thus making changing the default to Windows temporary.
Now all that is needed is a way to easily change the default manually. This can be accomplished using the command
grub-set-default. So, to reboot into Windows, enter the following command:
$ sudo grub-set-default 1 && sudo shutdown -r now
For ease of use, you might to wish to implement the "Allow users to shutdown fix" (including
/sbin/grub-set-default amongst the commands the user is allowed to issue without supplying a password).
LILO and GRUB interaction
If the LILO package is installed on your system, remove it with
# pacman -R lilo
as some tasks (e.g. kernel compilation using
make all) will make a LILO call, and LILO will then be installed over GRUB. LILO may have been included in your base system, depending on your installer media version and whether you selected/deselected it during the package selection stage.
pacman -R lilo will not remove LILO from the MBR if it has been installed there; it will merely remove the lilo package. The LILO bootloader installed to the MBR will be overwritten when GRUB (or another bootloader) is installed over it.
GRUB boot disk
First, format a floppy disk:
fdformat /dev/fd0 mke2fs /dev/fd0
Now mount the disk:
mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/fl
Install GRUB to the disk:
grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/fl '(fd0)'
Copy your
menu.lst file to the disk:
cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /mnt/fl/boot/grub/menu.lst
Now unmount your floppy:
umount /mnt/fl
Now you should be able to restart your computer with the disk in the drive and it should boot to GRUB. Make sure that your floppy disk is set to have higher priority than your hard drive when booting in your BIOS first, of course.

hiddenmenu option can be used in order to hide the menu by default. That way no menu is displayed and the default option is going to be automatically selected after the timeout passes.
Still, you are able to press Template:Keypress and the menu shows up. To use it, just add to your

GRUB Error 17
The first check to do is to unplug any external drive. Seems obvious, but sometimes we get tired ;)
If your partition table gets messed up, an unpleasant "GRUB error 17" message might be the only thing that greets you on your next reboot. There are a number of reasons why the partition table could get messed up. Commonly, users who manipulate their partitions with GParted -- particularly logical drives -- can cause the order of the partitions to change. For example, you delete
/dev/sda6 and resize
/dev/sda7, then finally re-create what used to be
/dev/sda6 only now it appears at the bottom of the list,
/dev/sda9 for example. Although the physical order of the partitions/logical drives has not changed, the order in which they are recognized has changed.
Fixing the partition table is easy. Boot from your Arch CD/DVD/USB, login as root and fix the partition table:
# fdisk /dev/sda
Once in disk, enter e[x]tra/expert mode, [f]ix the partition order, then [w]rite the table and exit.
You can verify that the partition table was indeed fixed by issuing an
fdisk -l. Now you just need to fix GRUB. See the #Bootloader installation section above.
Basically you need to tell GRUB the correct location of your
/boot then re-write GRUB to the MBR on the disk.
For example:
# grub
grub> root (hd0,6) grub> setup (hd0) grub> quit
See [this page] for a more in-depth summary of this section.
/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly
If you see this error message while trying to set up GRUB, and you are not using a fresh partition table, it is worth checking it.
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
This will show you the partition table for
/dev/sda. So check here, whether the "Id" values of your partitions are correct.
The "System" column will show you the description of the "Id" values.
If your boot partition is marked as being "HPFS/NTFS", for example, then you have to change it to "Linux". To do this, go to fdisk,
# fdisk /dev/sda
change a partition's system id with [t], select you partition number and type in the new system id (Linux = 83). You can also list all available system ids by typing "L" instead of a system id.
If you have changed a partitions system id, you should [v]erify your partition table and then [w]rite it.
Now try to set up GRUB again.
[Here] is the forum post reporting this problem.
Accidental install to a Windows partition
If you accidentally install GRUB to a Windows partition, GRUB will write some information to the boot sector of the partition, erasing the reference to the Windows bootloader. (This is true for NTLDR the bootloader for Windows XP and earlier, unsure about later versions).
To fix this you will need to use the Windows Recovery Console for your Windows release. Because many computer manufacturers do not include this with their product (many choose to use a recovery partition) Microsoft has made them available for download. If you use XP, look at this page to be able to turn the floppy disks to a Recovery CD. Boot the Recovery CD (or enable Windows Recovery mode) and run
fixboot to repair the partition boot sector. After this, you will have to install GRUB again---this time, to the MBR, not to the Windows partition---to boot Linux.
Once you have selected and entry in the boot menu, you can edit it by pressing key Template:Keypress. Use tab-completion if you need to to discover devices then Template:Keypress to exit. Then you can try to boot by pressing Template:Keypress.
device.map error
If an error is raised mentioning
/boot/grub/device.map during installation or boot, run:
# grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
to force GRUB to recheck the device map, even if it already exists. This may be necessary after resizing partitions or adding/removing drives.
If you have opened a sub-menu with the list of all operating systems configured in GRUB, selected one, and upon restart, you still booted your default OS, then you might want to check if you have the line:
default saved
GRUB fails to find or install to any virtio /dev/vd* or other non-BIOS devices
I had trouble installing GRUB while installing Arch Linux in an virtual KVM machine using a virtio device for hard drive. To install GRUB, I figured out the following:
Enter a virtual console by typing Template:Keypress or any other F-key for a free virtual console.
This assumes that your root file system is mounted in the folder
/mnt and the boot file system is either mounted or stored in the folder
1. Assure that all needed GRUB files is present in your boot directory (assuming it is mounted in
/mnt/boot folder), by issuing the command:
# ls /mnt/boot/grub
2. If the
/mnt/boot/grub folder already contains all the needed files, jump to step 3. Otherwise, do the following commands (replacing
your_kernel and
your_initrd with the real paths and file names). You should also have the
menu.lst file written to this folder:
# mkdir -p /mnt/boot/grub # if the folder is not yet present # cp -r /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /mnt/boot/grub # cp -r your_kernel your_initrd /mnt/boot
3. Start the GRUB shell with the following command:
# grub --device-map=/dev/null
4. Enter the following commands. Replace
/dev/vda, and
(hd0,0) with the correct device and partition corresponding to your setup.
device (hd0) /dev/vda root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) quit
5. If GRUB reports no error messages, then you probably are done. You also need to add appropriate modules to the ramdisk. For more information, please refer to the KVM guide on Preparing an (Arch) Linux guest

Those expecting a Teddy Roosevelt win unfortunately had less to celebrate.
The movement has spread to the canine community, as evidenced by dogs now showing up in Let Teddy Win t-shirts; but despite looking good out of the gate for the second day in a row, Teddy was ambushed in the right field corner by his fellow commanders-in-chief.
The hit by George Washington knocked Teddy out of the lead, and Abraham Lincoln pulled away for the win.
The presidents then yanked off their uniforms to reveal president-sized versions of the Nationals' official
playoff "Natitude" t-shirts.

Megan Welter had been dancing since she was a child and dreamed of becoming an NFL cheerleader for many years.
"I loved it," she told KNXV-TV, "I danced competitively at a studio from age of nine, all the way through high school, and then I was on my college dance team."
But instead of pursuing her dreams after graduation, Welter took a break from dancing and chose a very different path.
It was a path she stayed on for seven years.
And where did it lead?
"The war was going on at the time when I graduated college, so I wanted to take a job that was going to be meaningful," she told KNXV-TV, "so I decided to join the Army."
"When I first joined, I went to basic training and from there I went to officer candidate school, so I was commissioned a second Lieutenant at the end of April in 2007, and from there I became cable platoon leader and I deployed a month later from Henning to my unit to Iraq," she told the station.
"I was deployed to Joint Base Belad which is about an hour North of Baghdad," she added. "At first, it was, it was scary you know, but um, it's what I signed up to do."
More from KNXV-TV:
In Iraq, Megan didn't spend a lot of time thinking about dance, she had bigger problems on her mind. "Our biggest threat to the base was, where we were at was incoming mortars and rockets."
Her job in Iraq, critical to the success of the troops who were on the front lines, "My job was to make sure that the war fighters the soldiers that were actually out doing combat missions were able to communicate."
Welter spent 16 months in Iraq. Then after her time in the Army ended, she pondered whether she might still try out for an NFL cheerleading spot, a friend pushed her to throw caution to the wind and "just do it."
So last year, Welter tried out for the Arizona Cardinals cheerleading squad and heard something she'll never forget.
"I remember my number being called and uh, it was 118, and they called 118, I couldn't believe it," she told KNXV. "I'm in finals. Then I knew, I was like, 'I want to make this team.'"
Which, of course, she did. "It's just been such an amazing experience and to be at this age and still be able to do this, and to do it after you know, taking such a long break, it's been really exciting," she told the station.
But Welter hasn't completely left the military: "I'm currently a reservist. I am a signal officer for a military police battalion that's out of Scottsdale."
And as you might expect, the stirring moments when the national anthem is sung before Sunday kickoffs means something special to her: "When you see the flag, it means a lot...because our country has given us so many freedoms and to be a part of fighting for that and maintaining that...yes, it gives me goose bumps, I can't help it."
Check out her story below, via KNXV-TV:

?�It is not a white flag of surrender,� Florida Gov. Rick Scott said.
This was technically true: Scott did not wave a banner of any color when he announced Wednesday that he wants Florida to expand Medicaid, a key piece of Obamacare.
But make no mistake: Scott, a tea-party Republican and outspoken critic of the law, was laying down arms in defeat. The former hospital executive won his gubernatorial race in 2010 by campaigning against Obamacare, and as governor he fought the law in court. Even when the Supreme Court ruled against his position last year, he vowed defiance.
�We�re not going to implement Obamacare in Florida,� he said then. �We�re not going to expand Medicaid.�
The about-face by Scott, the seventh Republican governor to accept Obama�s expansion of government-funded health care for the poor, is a crucial validation of the president�s signature initiative. In his announcement, Scott made a moral case for the Medicaid expansion as compelling as the law�s proponents ever made.
�This country is the greatest in the world, and it�s the greatest largely because of how we value the weakest among us,� Scott, in blazer and open-collar oxford, said in his announcement. �It shouldn�t depend on your ZIP code or your tax bracket. No mother or father should despair over whether they have access to high quality health care for their sick child.� With federal funds covering the cost, �I cannot in good conscience deny Floridians that need it access to health care.�
Conscience is trumping politics elsewhere, too, even as the tea party maintains its grip on Republicans in Washington. Only 13 states, mostly in the South, have so far opted out of the Medicaid expansion, according to a compilation by The Advisory Board Company, a research and consulting firm. Twenty-three have opted in, accepting federal funds (100 percent for three years and at least 90 percent after that) to extend Medicaid to those with incomes up to about $31,000 for a family of four. States �are deciding this deal is simply too good to pass up,� Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told reporters Thursday.
In Ohio, Republican Gov. John Kasich urged lawmakers this week to �examine your conscience� before opposing his plan to embrace the Medicaid expansion. Invoking his own faith, Kasich said �I can�t look at the disabled, I can�t look at the poor, I can�t look at the mentally ill, I can�t look at the addicted and think we ought to ignore them. For those that live in the shadows of life, those who are the least among us, I will not accept the fact that the most vulnerable in our state should be ignored. We can help them.�
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder declared earlier this month that the Medicaid expansion �makes sense for the physical and fiscal health of Michigan.� And in Arizona, Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, a hardened Obama foe, justified her decision to embrace the Medicaid expansion with language similar to that used by the law�s proponents.
�With this move, we will secure a federal revenue stream to cover the costs of the uninsured who already show up in our doctor�s offices and emergency rooms,� Brewer said in her State of the State address. �Health care premiums are raised year after year to account for expenses incurred by our hospitals as they provide care to the uninsured.�
In Florida, the dwindling band of tea-partyers was furious with Scott, calling him a �Benedict Arnold.� But the cause he supposedly betrayed has already lost. After following the tea-party agenda over the last two years, Scott has the support of just one in three Floridians.
Now he�s acting like a competent executive. He said he would evaluate the expansion over time and decide whether changes should be made. That�s a great idea. It�s too bad the law�s opponents wasted three years hollering about socialism and tyranny.
Scott argued that the Supreme Court and the 2012 election made Obamacare inescapable, but he also made a personal appeal for the expansion. The recent death of his mother gave him �a new perspective,� he said. �I thought about my mom�s struggles raising five children with very little money. I remember my mom�s heartbreak when she struggled to find health care for my brother ... I don�t want any parent to worry like my mom did.�
�My top priority continues to be to make Florida the global leader for job creation,� the tea-party traitor said. �But we also have to be sensitive to the needs of the poorest and the weakest among us who struggle to access affordable, high-quality healthcare.�
Barack Obama couldn�t have said it better himself.
