grub prompt during installation of ViciBox Redux 3.0.9 32bit

[panosfot]

Hi all from Greece,
I am newbie in linux and its my first installation. Even though I have a little experiencea with vicidial 2.0.5
( as the person who was loading leads, creating campaigns, e.t.c), I have no experience with the installation of it.
Now I have downloaded ViciBox_Redux.i686-3.0.9.iso (32-bit) and verified the md5, burned it and started installation on a test machine.

The wizard is excellent and so the instractions (ViciBox_Redux_v3-Install.pdf). I have almost completed the Phase 1 succefully. (I have set static ip, gateway, dns, and I accept the default partitioning scheme) but after the reboot I find myself with a grub prompt and i have no idea what to do

Thanks in advance

have you considered the "walk-thru" on the vicibox website? (and did you "os-install" after setting all those network items and then logging in ... or did you just reboot?)

[panosfot]

yes I did, after the first failure attempt i had. The guide lines of the walkthrough on the vicibox website are not similar to the screens i see during the installation. (the screens are identical with the procedure as explained in ViciBox_Redux_v3-Install.pdf)

and yes, i set the network settings, then login with root/vicidial, the 'os-install', select clock and time zone , and the suggested partiotioning screen gives one swap volume of 4GB and one root volume with 107GB with ext3 (which I accept). At Live installation settings on 'Booting' the status location is : /dev/sda2 ("/") and says that boot from "/" is enabled

my advice would be to do it over (perhaps something went wrong)

and/or describe the prompt ... are you talking about

Code: Select all

grub>

or is there a grub menu?

you may also want to describe the hardware

[panosfot]

I just did it, and i had the same result. It's just grub> and waits for command

a very simple pc
Gigabyte GA-945PL-S3P, intel dual core prossesor, 4gb kingston ram, realteck on board lan, openvox D110P

just to be funny (and perhaps skip the learning curve) you could try goautodial

otherwise it'll be time to find out if it is losing track of your HD, or not installing grub properly, or what.

any errors during the os-install?
