I actually had an install problem, that kicked me from grub to the Ubuntu installer at the initramfs command term. Although such things are rare for me, it is I think unique to grub in this particular installer, and rescatux would not solve it from the GUI. The LL installer allows you to select your partition manually, so I normally have partitions prepared in advance, and install root to one and swap to another. On this particular sys the user had two different speed SATA disks, each with their own swap partition. The second disk, where LL was installed was the faster of the two, so within the installers manual settings, I chose not to use the slower swap partition on the first disk, opting for the faster 6G swap on the second, by selecting do not use this (the first disk slower one) partition. When I reconfigured grub back to the Debian boot screen of the first disk, LL would not boot, and had no file entries. I manually entered the boot strings, and achieved kernel panic when booting LL, even though it had a 6G swap partition available. I added the slower swap partition back in from the Ubuntu term and all was well again. Grub in LL is the only installer that has given me this kind of issue. Not a problem just a surprise to me. I have since reset the pri on the swaps and all is well, but it was curious to me. Most installers do not have an option to not use a partition, only to select one. I was trying to lessen the work and created more, making an assumption (bad praxis on my part) and I could see new users getting confused with the option so I mention it here. I realize now that the action I called could not be made from the second disk prior to installation, because grub was to install on the first, so even though I manually entered the boot strings correctly it was not about to work after I had reset up grub from the first sys. Duh. More coffee.
