I'm trying to install Lenny on a Dell Power Edge 2970 with little

The problem I'm running into is installing grub. My .iso images check

Lets have a look at your /boot/grub/device.map
I didn't look at that, but now when I try to mount /dev/sda1 it's
telling me it is an invalid filesystem. Fdisk shows nothing now.
This gets more frustrating as it goes along.
Hey, man! Think positively :)
We are thinking about you!
It is Friday, have a beer :)
Maybe you should look for that partitioning utility on vendor web site?
Maybe the HDD should be pre-partitioned with that util before any OS
installation?
I've had several beers dealing with this thing already. A few more
sounds good.
I'll try that Mark. Stranger things have happened.
Thanks,
Mike
