Problem installing Ubuntu


Weirdy

Recommended Posts

I get this error when it's toward the end of the "base install"

 

it says

 

"Installable kernel not found"

 

I googled it and ran into an old thread in the ubuntu forums saying to change master and slave between hard drives and optical drives, but I only have one of each.

 

Does anyone know a better way? What did I do wrong? Do I set a bootable flag or whatever?

 

If I try to install another distro will it allow me to use a different partition?

I think hd (which is SATA) is master and my optical drive (IDE of course) didn't come with one of those thingies to switch between master, slave, and random

 

so, the optical should be slave and the hd master?

 

[edit]ok, I switched the hierchy on my optical drive to "slave" and now "nic-pcmcia-modules-2.6-12-9-386-di" won't load. :clapping:

Actually I was thinking more aloing the lines of bad apt-get database. reload it with 'apt-get update' and try to install that kernel again.

apt-get install kernel-image right?
