Well, I downloaded the daily build, and tried again, but still no luck.
It locks up with grub and lilo, and it goes OK with elilo (tough it only
gives me an option of installing it on /dev/sda1, which is the MacOSX
partition) during the installation but it doesn't work during boot (it just
gives an error message saying to insert a bootable disk).
Could you be more specific on how you installed it manually ? Was it
just grub-install hd0 ?
