Can you see the kernel starting to uncompress? If yes, grub's job has finished *correctly* long time before that. I'd suspect that the kernel you have is for a different arch e.g. is a 686 kernel and the Lifebook is 586? Try using a network card to do install via network... Bottom line, it might NOT be a grub issue at all. _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
