hi phcoder
I'll try to find some time for that this week.
What debian bug are you referring to? Is this one linked to it yet? When did
you ask?
cheers

Sounds exectly like my issue.
To be honest I have more or less given up on this server since the install of
Lucid failed. It's just sitting there.
Still it would be nice to have this fixed, not just for this ancient hardware
but for getting a bug out that may harm more serious machines.
cheers
Hi Tom,
I think I have the same problem with a Toshiba Tecra A4.

- Was happily running Ubuntu 9.x
I have downloaded and verified the installation disks for both 10.04 and 10.10.
I can boot and run both demo versions from the installation disks.

@Tom: So, the last Ubuntu that installed clean on this Compaq Armada
7730MT was 8.04(!?!). All later versions exhibit problems similar to
this original bug report.
Installing Ubuntu 8.04 and upgrading through 10.04 took 3 days, but it
ran happily enuf. However, *only* kernel 2.6.28-18 booted
@pete
Nope, the last linux that ran on this machine was RH Shrike, about 6 or
7 years old by now. It booted with LILO, not Grub.
I don't think that the latest kernel(s) are the problem here, since I
can boot from a recent CD well, go into rescue mode and pull in all
sorts of updates. It's the
@p2: I know the feeling :-)
These older Compaqs are known for their quircky bioses. In several cases I
found that others could get past this problem by changing settings of memory
caching or shadowing. I did not find those settings in my bios setup program
(this goes by booting from floppy,
Okay, really getting discouraged here.
On arguably the world's smallest production server, a Compaq Armada
7730MT (Pentium MMX, 140MB) laptop, a clean install of 9.10 generic
fails with similar symptoms as the OP i.e. You need to load a kernel
first.

Hi Stanley,
I think that you had another problem. There have been cases of
grub-install not finding /boot when it is on a separate partition. This
was fixed recently thoug, so pulling in the latest and greatest of grub2
and associated should solve that.
In my case grub does install right, but
Had a similar problem with Ubuntu 9.10 Server. After clean install from
disk, the system failed to boot. Went back to disk and used Recovery
Mode to check around. Found that the /boot directory was completely
empty. No grub, no nothing. Searched around for a bit and found a work
