hi all,
i took the plunge after trying out a newly burned live cd and am trying to install karmic on my inspiron 600m.
after install it will not reboot so i want to re-install. here is the error i get after re-boot.
error: no such devices 41230862-63cc-400-8300-e4b175c00691, press any key to continue
no luck with any key, same error repeate. if i hard power off, and hit esc, the grub menu list will come up and if i select the current kernel or recovery mode i will get the error again.
so...i thought i'd try another install selecting manual partition.
/dev/sda1/ formatted as ext4 with mount point at /
/dev/sda5/ as swap
when i get to the last page and click on the advanced button i have the options to put grub on:
(hd0) or /dev/sda or /dev/sda1
i'm assuming that the initial install didn't put grub on hd0 by default and the system won't reboot because it can't see grub.
so, i want to try the advanced button but where should i put the bootloader? or is there another way to try and fix this install?
thanks in advance, any help would be appreciated,
brook
ps re-installed with grub on /dev/sda no go, same issue
tried c from the grum meu and got some more info: GNU grub version 1.97`beta4 which does not sound rght
