There is a bug with using GRUB as a bootloader. Either use
LILO or use one of the following workarounds:
<SNIPPED workaround for grub bug>
Or what you can do to fix grub is:
1) install, ignoring the grub bug
2) reboot into rescue mode from the DVD
3) mount your root partition _only_
4) chroot to that directory
5) mount /boot
6) grub-install /dev/hda, or whatever your boot disk is
7) reboot.
This works perfectly, at least with the 1.2 installer CD for 8.0; it
seems to me a lot simpler as nothing had be written down (and those
spaces are a bugger!) and typed in correctly.
So what you're saying is that you basically copied my instructions
except for the part where you run grub-install instead of running
grub yourself :) If you read it carefully you'll notice that I wrote
all the other steps the same way except I wrote HOW to do stuff.
I'm not sure 100% of the userbase knows how to "chroot to that
directory" when you haven't even told them WHAT directory to chroot
to.
