Imean you must divide the HDD in at least 3 partition (for istance, /dev/sda1 for primary where to put OS, /dev/sda5 swap and finally /dev/sda2 where you MUST set the type to "F0", the PALO's dedicated partition). When I reboot the system after the first try I red on the monitor: "Hard booted" and it hanged. When I correctly partitioned the HDD, install the base and rebooted the system, it finally booted up and everything went well! Did you do the correct steps to partition the HDD, set the partition types and so on? Then did you skip the keyboard configuration during the base installation, as mentioned in the previous mals on this ML?
