Hey, i installed Kubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx on a friends' computer, and the install continued like it normally would, i selected options and rebooted, and everything, but on restart, grub gives an error and refused to boot!
.
It gives an error on stage2 and gives me a console, the only command i can get to work on it is ls, and that lists my partitions, i think. =s
.
.
Key points:
- 80GB IDE HDD.
- 1st Partition has WinXP.
- Shrank last partition to accommodate Kubuntu.
- Live CD boots perfectly, ran installation twice, ran perfectly both times.
- Installation CD is fine, i installed the OS on my own computer, using it as i type.
If it can't be helped, i guess i'll just plug in the XP install CD and give the fixmbr command on the recovery console.. but i really want my idiot of a friend to start using Linux.
