Comment 51 for bug 260001

I'm not quite sure if I'm experiencing the same problem, but when I try to install the Jaunty Beta on my PC, when installing grub it triggers a logout which closes the installer. I had a look on the / partition and saw that there was no grub folder in the /boot folder, indicating that it hadn't installed it.

Weirdly enough, when installing off the exact same CD, I experienced absolutely no problems on my laptop - I even insatlled GRUB to the linux partition, not the MBR so i could hook GRUB into my windows bootmanager (it makes ubuntu easier to uninstall). I was also using Ext4. On that note, this problem happens regardless of whether I use Ext4 or Ext3 on my PC.

My desktop has the following specs:
Intel C2D e6400 @ 2.13GHz (note, I'm installing the 64-bit version of jaunty)
NVIDIA 7600GT (The desktop effects require a downloaded driver, even though it's running off the livecd)
4GB of RAM
GIGABYTE GA-945P-S3 Motherboard

My laptop is an Acer TravelMate 6292

Will submit syslog and other such files shortly, I just need to try installing again
