Public bug reported: (might be closely related to #138305)
* environment: * dell optiplex 320 desktop * ubuntu 7.10 (problem present with both live and alternate cd, apparently present in previous versions too) * needs option "hpet=disable" to boot * suggested diagnostics information from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies to follow (no access to the machines right now) * problem: grub fails to install Please tell me what more information you would like me to provide. I want this bug squashed. Badly. P.S. I've temporarily worked around these issues by: * booting from the alternate cd * using the hpet=disable option * installing ubuntu, trying but failing to install lilo in the process * rebooting the alternate cd in rescue mode * chrooting into the installed but unbootable ubuntu setup * running liloconfig and lilo * rebooting into the installed (and now bootable! woohoo!) ubuntu system See also: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=409345 for more details. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- grub fails to install on dell optiplex 320 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183202 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
