I have installed Debian on my laptop (lenovo 120S) without any problem. I am trying to install it on my desktop, a HP Paavilion p2-1140 64bit. Everything goes very well until it starts to install "Grub." At that point, the machine locks up and I have to reboot. I have tried multiple times to install with the same results. I also tried to install Mint with the same results. Has anyone else had the problem and is there a way around it? -- *David Anthony* 33 Centerville Commons Way Centerville, UT 84014 Cell-801-360-4 <801-709-9430>950

Way around probably exists. Please try to boot live media and run the script available here: https://github.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript This should show what resulted from your last attempt, and may point to a solution. What condition was the disk in when you started trying? Was Windows still on it? Is Windows still on it? Is the original 750GB disk still the only disk in it? What has been your install method, DVD, CD, or USB? Is CSM enabled in the BIOS? Have you only allowed the installer to determine the partitioning, or have you provided any direction through the partitioning steps, or partitioned in advance, and if the latter, to what extent? During installation, you can find messages by switching among the vttys using Ctrl-Alt-Fn. On at least one of them (F2?), you can run a number of shell commands, e.g. fdisk -l, df, free, mount, and more. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
