> On what kind of partition did you install /boot?

Hi,
I have had exactly the same experience. I tried to install Breezy and when the
first reboot occured error 17 with the Grub loader. I then tried to install to a
floppy disk. The loader did not get beyond the Grub start message before my
computer stopped responding.

Here is some more information about my system.
Motherboard : Gigabyte - K8NS Pro
Memory : 1GB
Processor chip : AMD Sempron 2600+
(Has a AMD 64 label stuck to the front of the box but I am sure the Semprons are
not 64 bit)
IDE Control chip type : NVidia (nForce 3)
IDE & SATA : both RAID enabled
hda : 10.2 GB Fujitsu MPC3102AT (where the boot record was written)
hdb : 120.0 GB WDC WD1200BB-00GUA (where Breezy was installed)

I also tried to use LILO but it simply displayed lots of 99 on the screen then
stopped responding.

If there is any more information you would like let me know.
I was a little surprised this happened and a bit disapointed.

David
