My hunch currently is that nothing at all gets really written to the disk, either failing silently or the OP not seeing the failures. I wouldn't bet my farm on it (first of all because I have no farm), but this would be the first I'd check. For example, by looking around after the installer thinks it's done and *before* the final reboot. What is mounted? Which devices are there? Which partitions? What's in there? Alternatively, boot the install/live medium in rescue mode and try to find/mount the partitions where the fresh installation is supposed to have landed. If everything is there, my hunch was wrong and the primary suspect seems to become Grub. Some BIOSes are rumoured to play games here. Cheers -- t
