Not happy. I had to do 5 installs and reformat 3 disk drives at least 3 or 4 times, moving partitions around. Then after I got the boot problem with grub2 solved, I now find out that the Nvidia...

One more thing, now this is occurring - how soon can we see a fix? A GUI is almost mandatory today.

Problem is resolved, the MAC Address filter in the EBR2310 router was turned on, so it blocked the new MAC.
