I had no problem with any of the other 7 Linux systems while I installed 
them.  Their GRUBS all
installed and worked OK as the systems accumulated.  Wouldn't that 
indicate that the BIOS configuration is OK?

As they were accumulating, the last installed Linux's GRUB became the 
default GRUB
which included all the previously installed Linuxes and Windows XP.

I forgot to mention that the installation was initiated through the 
desktop icon  '"Install" from the CD
desktop. As previously stated, the installation seemed to progress 
perfectly until the notice that there was GRUB
problem.
