I do not see a classification of "solved" or I would have changed it to
that. I still consider what I went through, a bug in the program, and I
will try to explain why. Final determination: "The install package does
not correctly setup the hard drive, even when making the selection to
use the entire drive." I cannot begin to tell you how many attempts at
installing I went through; but tracing the history of this bug report
will give an indication of how long it has taken me. If I had recorded
yesterdays event I could at least accurately describe in the
documentation to new users, which I am one, how to manually go through
the steps of 'prepping' the hard drive. The clue was in the boot process
when it continually displayed "Please append a correct 'root=' option
and made comment to there not being a legit file system. So yesterday,
the big eve, I had Ubuntu check my drive for errors, it took the entire
day. I then formatted the drive and chose a '/' as the mount point. I
have no idea if that is the correct choice, there is no help provided in
that area as to what to chose and the difference in the choices. Long
story short, it is installed and I am recording these comments from
within Ubuntu. So it was the hard drive setup that caused all my
problems.
