So the install goes OK, but the problem occurs on booting the
installed system? Is this a dual boot with Windows? If so, does Windows
still boot? During the install, did you get a dialog box about repairing
the partition table? How did you respond?
Boot the Rescue CD or CD 1 in rescue mode and tell us the result of
"fdisk -l /dev/hda".
