Boot method: CD Image version: Debian GNU/Linux testing "Etch" - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1 (20061011) Date: 12th November 2006 0555 CET Machine: Home Brewed PC based on Biostar M6 VBA M/B Processor: Celeron 550 Memory: 384MB Partitions: As proposed by the installer Output of lspci -nn and lspci -vnn: Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [OK ] Detect network card: [OK ] Configure network: [OK ] Detect CD: [ OK] Load installer modules: [OK ] Detect hard drives: [ OK] Partition hard drives: [ OK] Install base system: OK[ ] Clock/timezone setup: [OK ] User/password setup: [ OK] Install tasks: [ OK] Install boot loader: [E] Overall install: [ ] Comments/Problems: All went smoothly until Grub installation at the very end. The installer went through the motions then ejected the CD. However, on reboot, there was no Grub menu, just the previous Windows boot loader. For what it is worth, after basic installation I downloaded the Desktop installation from ftp.it.debian.org, 707 files in about 40 minutes. Relevant details: PC has 2 hard drives. Primary is 40GB Maxtor with a 15GB partition for Win XP, 25GB for Debian. Secondary is 8.4GB Maxtor with Win 98 installation in 4 partitions. Comment: Only Grub was offered. I use LILO and expected a choice. I propose to fix this by first seeing if there is a repair facility offered on the CD. If not I will use Knoppix to install a boot loader. I will provide more info if you tell me what you need. Regards David Cefai -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
