New submission from Valerio Fuoglio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: In many laptops (especially DELL ones) the bootloader must not be installed in the MBR, because default proprietary MBR is necessary for support applications (hidden partitions and so on).
In my "DELL Inspiron 6400", I had to: 1. backup default MBR (with "dd") 2. install ulteo 3. reboot 4. install grub in the root partition (from grub's command line) 5. restart the livecd 6. overwrite "ulteo's MBR" with default MBR (again "dd") It's a not so easy procedure for a new linux user. A check-box captioned "Install grub in the root partition" should solve the problem ;) ---------- messages: 27 nosy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] priority: normal status: unconfirmed title: Installer doesn't permit to install grub in the root partition ____________________________________________ Ulteo Bug Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.ulteo.com/index.cgi/bugs/bug19> ____________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Bugs mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.ulteo.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/bugs
