Public bug reported: Installed the ubuntu-7.04-server-i386 image on the hardware listed below.
The installation appeared to work fine (both times) however on restarting the machine I see grub start and then see the text "Starting up ..." on the screen, at that point the machine reboots and loops continuously through these steps. After several hours of trying to figure out the problem I burned the ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386 image and installed the desktop from the install icon. Everything worked fine and the there was no problem when I re-started the machine. I suspect that the problem the server install is experiencing is due to the only drive on the system being a SATA drive. nas description: Desktop Computer product: C3V vendor: ASUSTek Computer INC.
