Gnome error 18 halts setup

[Fernando J. Leal]

Greetings!
After installing Ubuntu 4.10 on an "old" machine (a PII/400), when the
machine reboots after copying all the files from the CD, I get an "error
18" message from Grub and the installation goes no further.
Any ideas about what an "error 18" may be, and how can I work it out?

Thank you very much.
