Public bug reported:
I installed kubuntu herd 4 on my old gateway p3 1ghz. I had a clean
400gb drive for the install (the only drive in the machine). I chose
the guided partioning and accepted the defaults. The entire install
went smoothly, but when I rebooted i got the grub error 18. The only
way I found to fix it was to reinstall and manually add a /boot
partition. I'm not sure I did it right or if I chose a good size for
the /boot partition (I used 100gb), but after reformatting and
reinstalling, everything worked fine. I'd guess that most new linux
users would have just given up and gone back to some other os when the
grub error occured. If there is any way to detect that a /boot
partition is required, it would be nice if the partitioning step did
that automatically. Everything else looks good! Nice job!!
