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).
