1 Hello,
2
3 I just finished to install that wonderful OS by following the instructions on the Web Site. I installed Grub the way you suggested... Now It boots from HD with GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB... etc etc etc... Thousands of Grubs. It doesn't allow me to go straight to my boot loader.

5 If I try to boot from the CDROM (no other choice), then I might enter the right command to boot.. but I got an kernel panik instead.
6
7 I tried linux root=/dev/sda1 It doesn't work because I got:
8
9 VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or 08:01
10 Please append a correct "root=" boot option
11 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:01
12
13 My HD config
14
15
16 /dev/sda1 1 6 83ext3 Boot
17 /dev/sda2 7 2231 Extended
18 /dev/sda5 7 83 82 SWAP
19 /dev/sda6 84 300 83ext3 Root
20
21 I thought I did everything right, but... I have to admit, I'm lost.
22
23 Thanks in advance for any help...
