Hello David :) Thank you for reply.

I used d-i, followed instructions, everything went fine, instalation of grub and than (first) reboot. After reboot I got bios, something which is now out of screen, than PCI Device Listing.... and finaly Verifying DMI Pool Data..... _ ^ this is a blinking cursor and in this moment, the computer does not show any other activity. It does not react to the keyboard. I have also tried to install with 1 old IDE disk. But I get the same situation after reboot. This leads me to the hypothese, that the problem is actually with GRUB seting (as you also suggest). Unfortunately I do not have much experience with grub, I have used lilo so far. Thus I am not sure, what other info would be needed for solving this problem. > Note that if you added an IDE drive or your SATA drives yourself, the > BIOS may map the drives differently than linux -- grub reads the boot > devices from BIOS.

How do I find out the mapping (either for bios or for linux) ? >From bios, I can get this information: IDE Channel 0 Master WD-something IDE Channel 0 Slave Plextor DVDR IDE Channel 1 Master none IDE Channel 1 Slave none IDE Channel 2 Master S_ATA1-ST3120827AS IDE Channel 3 Master none Thank you once more for help.
