I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10. I first tried to install by booting up the CD and selecting Install Now. Everything went well until it tried to set up Grub. I cancelled the install and found this post on this forum
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1598478
So I booted up with LiveCD and did the boot info script. Then I did
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda
I tried to do the following
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda
But it barked at me for that.
Then I rebooted and I am at the Grub command line.
Not sure what is wrong. Here is a printout of the Boot Loader Report
