Hi All,


I have a problem of booting up the latest version of ubuntu linux. Today,
i have been started to install the linux on my machine. Then, the system
warns me to take the CD out to prevent a live CD running rather than the
current installed one. Until that point, the problem starts when i was
booting up my computer to run linux on my machine. After a few seconds,
this message comes out:


Booting from local disk...
GRUB Loading stage1.5.


GRUB loading, please wait...
Error 18


The message above stays there forever. Then i was trying to open up my
BIOS
by restarting my computer again. However, i can't open it suddenly, and
the system says an error of my system. I feel desperate about this and
right now, i just can rely on my live CD to be able to send this e-mail to
all of you. If someone knows how to solve it, could you please let me know
immediately? Thank you.


Regards,



Velix Wibowo

I had that problem too on an older computer and I solved it by making a
small /boot partision in the start of the harddisk. You can do it if you
choose to partision manually under the installer.
