There's some sort of ACPI conflict. "linux26 acpi=off" works, to some extent. Of course in the long run I'd like ACPI to be available. But I'm not sure how to set up booting. Can I put GRUB into the MBR and still boot my existing WinXP volume? Do I have to make another partition and copy the Windows bootloader there or something? If I'm not going to do that, the method I know is the one where you peel off the first 512 bytes of your root partition and put it into a file in your Windows partition, then edit boot.ini -- that's a LILO trick as far as I know; don't know if it works with GRUB. In either event, where do I install the bootloader in that case? BTW I tried skipping bootloader configuration and booting with a rescue disk -- didn't work so well. If I tried to use sarge as a rescue disk it gave me a VFS kernel panic or some such. If I tried Woody disk 5, it sort of worked but couldn't see the network.
