The installer should *ask* if you would like to install GRUB before. Reboot: [O] Comments/Problems: The installation went ok. The problem is that the kernel doesn't boot. The messages are: Cannot open root device "hdb5" or 03:45 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 03:45 The line I'm using to boot from GRUB is kernel (hd1,4)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb5 The information above where I had to run a program was done on RedHat. Two suggestions: 1) It would be nice to have an option in which the installer does the partitioning (guided partitioning), but the user specifies the amount of space he/she wants to dedicate to Debian (currently, either the installer uses all the free space in the disk, or you have to partition yourself, manually). 2) About the intalation of GRUB: I had GRUB already installed. In this case, the installer is not very "polite". I had to abort the instalation of GRUB, the installer issued one or two warnings, and then I was taken back to the menu, without knowing if it was ok to skip the GRUB instalation or if the instalation had been compromised in any way. As it turned out it hadn't, but I got the feeling I was doing something wrong. That I might be screwing up somehow. But, of course, my main problem is the kernel panic.
