I get the message when I install 4.0.0 or 4.0.2 to my HDD (/dev/hda1) the only system on the laptop.
It of course won't boot. I do not get this message with an older version like 3.9.
My machine is a Dell C610 laptop with a 20gb disk and 256mb of memory with a DVD reader.
I saw the other topic entry and it seems that there was no answer to the dilema.

Any ideas?!

I have the 4.0.0 version running and booting fine on a desktop machine, so I'm stumped!

Thanks all!
