Hello,

As strange as it may sound, yes I need help with this simple task. I've
got a problem that I've never seen before. The install works just
perfectly, but when the system reboots all I get is "GRUB " in the upper
left corner of my monitor with a flashing cursor one space to the text's
right. This occurs whether I use the automated partitioning system or
if I try and do it myself.

For the current system setup, it's a brand new MoBo with an AMD-64
processor. I have Windows XP currently installed and must dualboot the
system. Windows XP consumes 55gb of our 80gb HDD, the remainder I want
for linux (or some other free UNIX-like system). Any ideas as to what
is going wrong? I know that a few years ago there was a deficiency in
some systems for having boot files outside of a 6gb boundary. However,
I thought that only applied to Windows and that it had been fixed. What
am I missing? This is getting quite irritating.

Thanks for any help,
Andy
