Re: Can you help me figure out why I can't get Grub to install from a standard CD .iso?

I'm guessing that there is some incompatibility between your hardware 
and the default configuration that the GRUB installer doesn't know how 
to handle.  I'm not promising to answer further, as this is outside my 
area of expertise, but is there an error message associated with this, 
or does the installation simply die without explanation?
