<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Jack:<br><br></div>Haven't been exactly following the thread, but have you been able to boot a "live" DVD or USB of whatever system that are then trying to install? Or, you are just "installing"?? Usually I test out the system . . . and if you can get to a GUI before installing it, that might be indicative of installer issues??? And, then test around for what distro/flavor boots/runs in "live" . . . or figure out what boot params you might need . . . then, try an install of what runs in "live" . . . is my general advice . . . . Rather that than re-writing all kinds of files while trying to get it installed . . . keeping it simple on the install is "better" . . . .<br><br></div>F<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 1, 2016 at 2:14 PM, Jack Craig <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jack.craig.aptos@gmail.com" target="_blank">jack.craig.aptos@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>this is an asus eeepc 1000. after following the above, running a lot of updates <br></div>finishing with creating a new initrd.img. i386, intel<br><br></div>still same problem, headed back to grub,...<br></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 1, 2016 at 2:01 PM, Simon Quigley <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tsimonq2@ubuntu.com" target="_blank">tsimonq2@ubuntu.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">To help further diagnose, what you are waiting for is the startup of<br>
