no boot option in BIOS
#2
Hi Patrick,

Just a few questions to get a better understanding:

1. Are you rather talking about the bootloader GRUB instead of the BIOS (basic input/output system)?
Only in GRUB that will be installed on your harddisk you would get an entry for your OS. The BIOS on the other hand comes with your computer as some kind of firmware placed in a ROM chip. It will show you - amongst other things - your harddisk and lets you configure which device you want to boot from. You won't be able to choose the OS in there.
So, when you boot up your computer at some point it will try to boot from the harddisk you have configured via BIOS by 'looking' for the bootloader on this disk. The bootloader then - if installed - decides which OS to start or action to perform.

2. Have you installed the bootloader during the installation process?

3. Did you select the harddisk in the BIOS as device to boot from?

4. What actually happens when you turn on the computer?

5. Not relevant to your problem: Why don't you install the newest version LL2.4?

Hope this will help us helping you Smile
