Just went through the installation here - the installer looks really nice. Unfortunately, after the installation finishes, the result is a simple black screen (no splash or kernel loading happens at all) with the error "Error loading operating system". This is a standard T42p system. I restarted and ran the rescue system, and it didn't detect any significant errors (some of the thinkpad utility packages weren't installed). I told it to fix the boot loader, and that failed, so I tried manually fixing the boot loader. The failure I received was first in running mkinitrd - the filesystems needed weren't mounted by the rescue system (I have swap as /dev/sda1, / as /dev/sda2, and /home as /dev/sda3 - same as my 10.3 system, which is also a T42p). I mounted /dev/sda2 under /media/floppy (since it existed), chrooted to /media/floppy and mounted sysfs and procfs. Ran mkinitrd, and that ran fine then. I also then ran grub-install and it seemed to run OK, but after a reboot, that still hasn't resolved the issue. When given to me, the system had a Windows installation on it (not sure which, XP is most likely - I didn't boot it to find out), but I've wiped that out. I've also tried forcing installation (with grub-install) to the MBR of /dev/sda and that didn't work either. I'm kinda at a loss now as to how to proceed. Anyone have any suggestions?
