This bug also affects me. I tried installing Ubuntu 10.04 i386 on a Pentium 3, but it kept failing to boot from the CD. I then used Smart Boot Manager and got it to boot from the floppy, and then from the CD. I installed Ubuntu 10.04, but now, every time I try to boot the computer, it says "error: out of disk." and then boots to Ubuntu, but it does not load any session, it simply goes to a console, tty1. If I type in "startx", I have my desktop session loaded fine, but I shouldn't have to write a script to get it loaded automatically, it should already be done. I used the same CD to install Ubuntu 10.04 on another machine and all went well, so I am guessing it really is hardware specific, maybe caused by the boot sector protection on the hard drive (which I was able to get rid of using sbm).
I got networking working, I'll try upgrading the system and give you more news about it, like how I fixed it, if I did, or what I tried that did not work. But I know in the end I'll have it working, but it will probably be a hackish solution. -- grub 2 error: out of disk. failed to boot default entries. press any key to continue... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477430 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
