I discovered the solution to the EB4 - beta problem, from the development team. I have not tested it yet, but they tell in forums the problem will be fixed in the final version. A well known problem actually but it took me some time to discover it.
http://forums.eeebuntu.org/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=5056 --------------------------- - On installing, when you get to the summary screen, you need to choose ADVANCED and select your HD install target. (it was thought that this was not enough to hold it back any further but will be fixed in final). - or this will cause GRUB install error. - For those who are seriously testing the iso, PM me or Paul (Guitaraholic) and we'll add you to bugzilla. Link is http://bugs.eeebuntu.org - If reporting bugs and you know the fix, add that in too. - Do NOT run update in live before you install, there is a python upgrade that will break the installer (again it was thought that was not enough to hold back the beta release). --------------------------- Regards K.F.G Trondheim, Norway.

EEEPC 900 CELERON, 1GB RAM, 16GB fixed flashcard with Xandros, 8 GB extra Flashcard attached so i can install EEEBUNTU unto it. Problem with installing eb4-b1. http://eeebuntu.org/ (Our new EB4 beta has been released so to download and test it out just.......) FATAL ERROR ..."running grub-install HD0" (95% installed) /var/log/syslog could not be retrieved. /var/log/partman is attached. I used utorrent and downloaded eb4-b1. Formatted a Kingston 8GB USB stick and formatted it as instructed to FAT32. Then is used Vindows Vista with unetbootin-eeebuntu-windows-276. The eb4-b1.iso file got installed into the USB. Then i attached USB unto my EEEPC 900 and booted it. When the eb4-b1 was up and running i chose Install eb4, followed the instructions as i have done before with EEEBUNTU 3.0. I always choose to format 100% of the flashcard. The install procedure worked perfectly well until 95%. Then i got the FATAL ERROR "running grub-install HD0" and the install process stopped. I can still use my EEEPC 900 Celeron - from the USB stick and write this text with gedit. Two times i have tried to install unto the flashcard, but exactly the same problem. Regards KFG, Trondheim, Norway. Crash Report: -------------------------------------- We're sorry; the installer crashed.
