I'm just having no luck at all with this. After it finished installing, the
boot process fails. The last few lines on the screen are:
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: unknown partition table
pivot_root: no such file
/sbin/init: 426: cannot open dev/console: no such file
kernel panic: attempted to kill init!
i rebooted and was offered the choice to boot into recovery mode, but that
fails also with the same errors.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
Ian
