I have an old dinosaur of a computer which I'm trying to install Intrepid 32 bit on. The basic specs are Athlon 900MHz, 41Gb IDE hard disk, 512Mb RAM, Voodoo Banshee 3 graphics. On the machine I have Win98 and Xubuntu 8.0.4.1 which run fine.
When I try to install the machine gets to 94% and then I get the message Executing 'grub-install (hd0,0)' failed. This is a fatal error.
I've read elsewhere that it could be due to a large swap file which I've reduced to 990Mb, but still get the same problem. Bios boot protection is disabled. I've removed all unused Xubuntu kernels.
Advice is appreciated.
