Failed boot loader install
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I installed beta2, but the boot loader install wasn't succeed. I'd like to install the boot loader to the boot record of the root filesystem (sda2). It didn't show any error, but when I tried to reboot the system the following error message displayed: root (hd0,1) Filesystem type is ext2fs partition type 0x83 configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst error 2: bad file or directory type When I booted to repair system on the install dvd and tried to reinstall the boot loader, the installer complained that /dev/sda2 didn't exist. It exists, can be mounted and contains /boot/grub/menu.lst. The installation of LILO also failed. I can't install grub from 10.3 neither: setup --prefix=/mnt/hda2/boot/grub (hd0,1) ~ Checking if "/mnt/hda2/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no Error 2: Bad file or directory type The stage1 file is there. So, I can not boot to my freshly installed system. How could I solve it? Anyone else experienced this problem? If not I'll submit a bug report. TIA.
