I am using an IBM P4 machine to boot the linux. The linux OS I have installed to a hard disk (it has only that OS) using some other machine and bring it to the IBM machine and boot the system. Once it starts it come to the GRUB and let it to select the OS (only linux entry is there). But once I clicked the entry the computer goes back to the initial mode and restart the machine as usual way and ask to enter the OS again ( i.e Linux). This is going as a loop. What can.... I do can any body help me..
So you installed it on a system other than the system it's booting on? You can run into lots of problems there with differing hardware. How different are the two?
