If you're installing grub, you're probably starting from scratch on a new disk. You should look up a tutorial on how to test your hard drive, but an abbreviated tutorial is to get a Live DVD distro, burn it, boot off of it, and before mounting any partitions on /dev/sda, run badblocks -nvs /dev/sda on it. Let that run for however long it needs to; this will test all of the sectors on your drive to ensure they're working correctly. If it outputs any errors or starts writing out lots of numbers, you have a disk problem. Now, on to Asterisk: If your box is blank, you should just install a distribution designed for Asterisk: http://www.freepbx.org/freepbx-distro http://www.elastix.org/index.php/en/downloads/main-distro.html If this is an existing system, it sounds like you have a serious configuration issue or hardware problem, so you should head to the forums for whatever distro you're using (looks like some Debian variant). -- -Chris Harrington ACSDi Office: 763.559.5800 Mobile Phone: 612.326.4248
