It gets all the way through the install, and then when it reboots, grub can't find the kernel. Grub can't find the kernel because the kernel was not instaled for some reason? I looked at the box through rescue mode and in /boot there is no kernel.

Any ideas what might have happened?

Nice clean x86_64 install here:

This is on a HP Pavilion zv6015us laptop. The only problem I has was getting the wireless working. Loading bcm43xx froze the system. I went back to ndiswrapper which had a less dramatic stability problem that went away with the 1.43 version. I also went to the current kernel from kernel.org since that way the laptop's SD card reader works.

Cheers, Dave
