Pristine disk. No data. I selected "Install to disk". This works with 9.04 and for 9.10 partially loads. If I take out the CD, then I get a bricked machine. At boot, only a black screen. There's no messages at all. If I leave the CD in, then I can do this to fix the problem... mount /dev/sda1 /mnt mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev chroot /mnt update-grub This same problem occurs when I upgrade kernels. When 2.6.31-7-generic released I did my normal 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade' + reboot. Nada... Boot selected 2.6.31-6-generic again. Looking at /boot/grub/grub.cfg I noticed the new kernel was missing, same as when I did my fresh install. A simple update-grub found the kernel. I suspect some action is failing to fire in the packaging or some error is hit which is quietly unreported then quietly fails prior to running update-grub. Perhaps a good way to test this is to remove 2.6.31-7-generic from my system and do some sort of verbose install, then report the output to you or someone who can tell what's failing. I'm happy to do this. Just tell me the apt-get install options to use and I'll return the installation log. -- Love feeling your best ever, all day, every day?
