Comments/Problems:
Everything in the installation seemed to go fine, but when I
rebooted and grub began to load (i.e. Grub loading stange 1.5
[or whatever it was]) and I got: "Error 15" from grub and it
hung there.
This is the first time I've used linux26 to install debian, my
previous attempts (with this laptop) using older versions of
the debian installer and the 2.4 kernel have gone fine. So I'm
not sure if it's screwing up somewhere in the 2.6 kernel or
just somewhere in the "install the 2.6 system" setup, or just
the grub setup.
I tried both linux26 and expert26 and had the same "Error 15"
result.
Oh, and grub was installed on /dev/hda2
Oh, and my install screen was red but I saw that in the errata
