Hello, is it possible to install Ubuntu-AMD64 on /dev/hdb2, where the 3 partitions on the second hard disk are all primary, and then get grub to install on /dev/hda MBR? I ask because I have installed ubuntu successfully on /dev/hda2 and grub on the mbr of hda, but when I try hdb2 grub fails to do anything when the PC us booted, it sais 'grub stage 1.5 please wait...' then does nothing for 5 mins. Does it matter that grub is on hda and ubuntu is on hdb? O
shoudlent matter. sounds like the grub menu/config is messed up/confused

hello. Reading http://www.ubuntugeek.com/kernel-2-6-35-officially-available-for-ubuntu-10-04.html it says 'This kernel is now available in the git repository of Ubuntu 10.04' and 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'. If its a dist-upgrade, isn't that 10.10 beta? I don't understand how it can remain 10.04 but with 2.6.35.4 kernel. Can anyone help me understand this please? Thanks.
a dist-upgrade does not always upgrade to the next release.

The distro is working perfectly, the problem is with the LEDs on the System. Under XP the WiFi on/off light works perfectly, under Linux it does not. If I cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rf_kill it shows a value of 0 when the WiFi is active and 2 if it is inactive. I am trying to find out how windo
i think that led is probably controlled by a bit in nvram ... you could have a look at madwifi to see how they do it - i don't now how to dump nvram from windows but you could compare a dump from windows to a dump in linux
