I would suggest reinstall and watch the screens given by ctrl-alt-f3, f4 and
f5 Something is not installing correctly.
Our experience is that not all ATA/100 drives can really do ATA/100, so start
the install with this
At the splash screen hit F1
type in
linux ide0=noautotune
and try that... Likely the missing grep simply wasn't installed due to a
disk write error, and perhaps a few other packages are missing, but a missing
grep is a show-stopper.
