Base System Installation Checklist: 
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it 
 
Initial boot:           [O ] 
Detect network card:    [ O] 
Configure network:      [O ] 
Detect CD:              [O ] 
Load installer modules: [O ] 
Detect hard drives:     [O ] 
Partition hard drives:  [O ] 
Install base system:    [O ] 
Clock/timezone setup:   [O ] 
User/password setup:    [O ] 
Install tasks:          [O ] 
Install boot loader:    [O ] 
Overall install:        [E ] 
 
Comments/Problems: When I finish the install, I removed the CD when prompted, 
then reboot. Grub runs, then I get "Error 15: File not found" 
 
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments 
      and ideas you had during the initial install.> The install seems to go 
alright, When I restart the CD, and try the install again, the partitions seem 
to be there, and there is something in them. I've tried several times, I put the 
boot loader on each of the hard drives, same result each time. 
 
Thanks,
