Hi All,
I am a complete newbie to linux and just tried to install Ubuntu 8.10 onto an older computer the system has an ASUS P4P800 MB a Maxtor 160GB pata HDD 1 GB ram. The system works perfectly when I run it from the CD, but after I install it Ubuntu to the HDD i get some weird "timeout" error on the HDD then when the system reboots I see "Grub" then on the next line ERROR 18.
I installed to a blank HDD twice and same thing both times. And ideas what's going on?
