Hello, I am upgrading to Karmic Koala today, and I wanted to create a video on how to do this as part of my series of Linux videos, to share Karmic love with the world!
Unfortunately I am having problems on boot. Here is my situation:
I had Jaunty 64-bit installed on my machine, dual-booting with Windows. I have 3 HDDs in the computer, and Windows was the primary partition on the WD Raptor that also held Jaunty's swap, /, and /home partitions.
From a Jaunty live CD I deleted the Jaunty partitions in preparation for installation (I wanted to show unpartitioned space like someone would see if they made room on their Windows hard drive for dual booting). I then installed Karmic Koala on three partitions: /, /home, swap.
So far, so good! Unfortunately on trying to boot to my snazzy new distribution, I was greeted with a Grub Error 17. I'm not quite sure how to proceed, as I understand that Karmic Koala is running Grub 2, correct?
Thanks!
