I was happy to soon... It now boots, but after asking me about keyboard layout, it tries to find the cdrom and fails, with messages like: Looking for CDROM Attempting to mount media /dev/sda1 Attempting to mount media /dev/sda2 Attempting to mount media /dev/sda3 Attempting to mount media /dev/sda4 Media not found Determining root device... Could not find the root block device in . Please specify another value or: press Enter for the same, type "shell for a shell, or "q" to skip (The /dev/sda* are partitions on my HD). Thanks, Moshe
