I tried several times to install Ubuntu_8.10_desktop_amd64 on My laptop ( dual intel(R) Core(TM) Duo 2.2Ghz cpus). I have another two existing system : 1) ubuntu 8.04.1 32 bit 2) windows xp. and grub was installed.
I download the .iso file from Ubuntu official website, tried the live CD, made integrity check, it all worked well. I then installed the system to a new partition, the installation gave no error. But when I restart the computer, I could not boot Ubuntu 8.10, either no grub could be found or the old grub was shown (after I manually install grub) . There was no entry added by the installer, nor /grub/ folder under /boot/ folder on the partition of the new installation.
I'm a bit desperate now, but still with the hope of 64bit power. Any hints are welcome, Thanks a lot in advance!
