Bug Description
(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:/
* 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
