So you have grub installed, the grub menu appears, you select a boot |
| 23 |
option, boot starts, the usual kernel messages flash by, you get to the |
| 24 |
second part of the boot where the lines look like: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
blah... [OK] |
| 27 |

Assuming that's the scenario, boot with your install media, enter the |
| 31 |
chroot, then take a peek at the logs in /var/log. Hopefully you can |
| 32 |
find |
| 33 |
a hint. |
