The ebox-installer CD-ROM works in two distinct phases:

Phase 1 - This uses the standard Ubuntu installer

• Installs the operating system (Ubuntu 8.04 Server LTS)
• Configures it to work on your machine
• Installs GRUB

At this point the machine reboots

Phase 2 - This is when eBox is installed

• Installs the eBox modules
• Configures the modules to work as you require
• Starts the finished eBox server

I have made a working assumption that your problem with GRUB is first seen at the reboot between phase 1 and 2.  If this is correct it suggests the problem is either with the software elements of phase 1 and/or issues with your hardware.  It is not really an eBox issue.

Your hardware is unknown to me and I have never experienced GRUB problems with eBox.  Therefore I can only offger generic as opposed to specific advice.

• Be methodical in your troubleshooting.
• Try to eliminate as many variables as possible.
• Try to obtain a known-to-be-good condition.

Suspected Incompatibility

...i think the installer is not compatible to my motherboard?

• Contact your motherboard manufacturer for reported incompatibility with Ubuntu 8.04 Server LTS.
• Contact Ubuntu for reported incompatibility with your hardware.

Verify to condition of your installation sources

• Check the md5 value corresponds to the value for the ebox-installer ISO.  Download again if they differ.
• Check the integrity of the CD-ROM at the ebox-installer main menu.  Burn again if errors are reported.

Verify the condition of your RAM

• Check using the option on the ebox-installer main menu.  Replace if faults are reported.

Verify the condition of your hard disks

• Download Parted Magic (PM) from http://partedmagic.com
• Use the PM tools to check the health of your hard disks.  Repair or replace if needed.
• Wipe your disks using the PM tools.
• Create a new partition table on each disk again using PM.

At this point you will have established a good, clean base from which to start.


Installation Test1

• Install 1 x hard disk in your machine and set as master.
• Boot from the ebox-installer CD-ROM and begin the installation procedure.
• At the partitioner screen select the option to allow the installer to automatically partition the disk.

If the machine boots normally proceed to next stage.


Installation Test 2

• Create a new partition table on each disk
• Install 2 x hard disks in your machine and set each as master.
• Boot from the ebox-installer CD-ROM and begin the installation procedure.
• At the partitioner screen choose the option to partition manually and create the scheme you require.

The general idea is to progress using small steps from a known-good position.
