I have already installed 8.04 on two home machines and I am a big fan. I tried installing 8.04 on an older machine last night (Athlon 1700 with IDE drives). The live CD worked fine. The installation process had no problem. After rebooting the machine, the BIOS checks pass, and then it freezes with only the word GRUB
I'm not sure why it is stopping there. I reinstalled 5 times last tried varying things slightly, and having different hard disks as my install disk. Every time it booted it stopped with GRUB Also, if I boot from the live CD and then ask it to boot from the hard disk, it freezes in the same way. Some of my crazy guesses: I noticed that during the install it recognized my IDE drives as SCSI drives instead. I read something about 40 and 80 pin cables causing problems. Do I need some option like acpi=off? I seem to recall having to do something similar years ago when I installed Fedora Core on the box. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ubuntu Linux" group.
