F11 not booting

[Lawrence E. Graves]

May I ask what did you load you pre-lease on a laptop or desktop.
I had similar problem on both laptop and desktop.  What I did on my
laptop was after the first boot, I went to root and did the foundation
install and after that I had no more problems.  On my desktop I just
re-installed from the beginning.  I am kind of a novelist in this thing
but am blessing with a friend who is awesome and helps me understand a
lot. Hope this was of some help.
