One thing I had to do was go into my bios,and disable the Memory Hole Remapping option.Theres a documented bug that this option conflicts with GRUB2.
The error I was getting is initrd is too big
As soon as I did this I was peachy.

Hmmm..noticed on boot up 1.72beta ...
All I did to fix it was try to install the GRUB bootloader on my Windows (Master) HDD, using the Alternate CD (Install CD).
I had tried a GRUB install (on windows/master HDD - and corrupted the boot process [leaving me only with the Live CD for my working OS]) with the Live CD but it messed up, most likely because the Live CD install doesn't really work for most users. When I got the Alternate CD I first tried to use the LILO boot loader running off my Linux HDD, that didn't work though I did set the BIOS to boot off the slave HDD (to prevent the corrupted GRUB from interfering). Then I as I started this post, I installed GRUB on the master and it work fine. Can boot to either OS, it's sweet.

You can disconnect your drives except the one to be used for Ultimate Edition,and install.Then reconnect your drives,after your sure the single boots,and logs in.
This is how I actually do it.Its a sure fire way to get it to work....or at least eliminate a few variables for trouble shooting

Return to Ultimate Edition 2.4
