I ran the following at the boot prompt: Press F1 for help, or ENTER to boot: linux26 The very first menu asking to "[!!] Choose language" displayed very funny. Instead of a gray box with all the choices in it, it gave a grey box with the right edge missing some of the grey... :) It's hard to explain... something like this: [!!] Choose language | | Choose a language | | Albanian - Albanian | Arabic - | Basque - Euskaraz | Bosnian - Bosanski | Bulgarian - | Catalan - Catal[ # | Chinese (Simplified) - () | Chinese (Traditional) - () | Croation - Hrvatski | Czech - etina | Danish - Dansk | Dutch - Nederlands | English - English | Farsi - | Finnish - Suomeksi | French - Frantais | Galician - Galego | German - Deutsch | Greek - | | | ____________________________________________________________________| )))))))))))))))))BIG BLACK LINE HERE))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Some of the letters that are typed above, i.e. under the heading "French", I have typed "Frantais", but there is no "t" displaying, it is an "i" with a "~" above it. Please excuse my ignorance of the correct naming of the letter. Where you see a blank, it displays nothing, where in the last image I tested "7-20-2004" it displayed the actual writing in the actual language that was representative of it's English equivalent. As I continued through the menus, it displayed similar "right edge" problems. The other problem I had was that GRUB would not install properly to my RAID array. As mentioned above, I have a Adaptec 2120S RAID Controller hooked up to 3x Seagate 73.4 GB U320SCSI 68PIN 10K SEA-ST373307LW drives. The drives are configured into a single RAID5 Volume and detected by the installer as such. However, grub fails to load with a "Fatal Error" In the third terminal it is showing the same error I had on earlier di snapshots, "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly." I already have a bug report on this issue: #259297, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=259297 I just wanted to submit a bug on the "graphical" menu driven installer display errors.
