[SOLVED?] installed Linux Mint 8 which took GRUB to 1.97 (beta4)... don't like Lnx Mint but so what. Then was able to install Karmic (from same CD as b4) without any prob. BUT... Grub was still the Mint version and now not showing either Jaunty or Karmic! Restarted Mint in Safe mode and used Grub Rescue to relocate both successfully. Now booted to 9.10 BUT STILL FOUND SAME KARMIC PROB AS MANY OTHERS HAVE FOUND... LOSS OF USE OF USB WIRELESS MODEM. Plugged in mobile broadband dongle and, although Karmic doesn't seem to like it (7 re-starts b4 it was recognised!) spent hours letting Update Manager do it's stuff. This updated GRUB again & allowed me to choose sda0 or sda1 for location. sda0 chosen and now back to a proper Grub boot choice (Karmic / Jaunty / Mint / XP). What a hassle just to work around Karmic install probs!!! Now... anyone got an idea as to how to get USB wireless modem to connect to the network that Jaunty has no problem with????
