Comments/Problems:

I have installed Debian-Installer release candidate 1.  After the installation of the grub loader, in “testing” mode, my system constantly reboots.  In “stable” mode, I get a grub error 21. 

My hardware is Athlon XP 2100+, Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 930 SB 19", Abit AT7 motherboard, Microsoft Internet Pro Keyboard, MS mouse, Maxtor 80MB & 60MB HD, 768 MB DDR333 memory, ATI Radeon 8500, Lite-on DVD+/-RW, Internal Zip 250, TDK CDRW.

The Abit AT7 motherboard supports raid.  However, I am not using the raid controllers as a raid.  Just a HD controller.  The 80MB drive has windows xp, and the 60MB drive has two partitions; 30MB for windows xp and 30 MB unspecified (using to install Linux).
