I'm having problems installing GRUB on my Dell Optiplex GX1 pentium3 500 BIOS A10. I'm setting this server up for a friend and not having GRUB isn't the biggest deal; I just wanted to have a nice inappropriate boot image when they turn it on... It will boot from a floppy, but installing it to the hard drive seems to corrupt the root filesystem. It claims to install fine and during boot will load grub_stage1.5 from the disk, but instead of loading stage2 it begins to boot the system, but the console font has become completely corrupted, and I'm not certain if anything else has. It will boot, and appears to function but the font is messed up. Has anyone else had issues with the particular Dell and GRUB? I've never had problems with GRUB before this machine. I'm at a loss, any help would be appreciated. It would be nice to get GRUB on this thing, but if I can't oh well. -brian
