Bug Description
I have a brand new Intel Core 2 Duo computer and wanted to do a dual boot install of Windows XP and Ubuntu Edgy.
Followed the instructions at https:/
Installed Win XP (created a 30 Gb partition for this, left the rest of the disk unpartitioned)
Retrieved and burned a CD image from http://
Ran live CD, installed (created a 30 Gb partition for ubuntu, 4 gb swap, and 200+ FAT32 for shared files with Windows etc)
Installer completed, but when the system reboots and Grub starts, selecting ubuntu yields 'Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition'
Others with similar experiences:

Fix: followed the manual steps at
http://
to get the system booted; (boots incompletely - possibly a second bug - TBC)
Fix2: Could also edit the grub entry to read
root (hd0,1)
instead of the
rood (hd0,0) it listed as default.
