CAELinux on HDD does not start

Ciao

I have installed CAELinux on a separate partion of my notebook
Dell Vostro 1700, 4GRam, Intel dual core

The installation of CAELinux spoiled my boot (originally a dual boot Ubuntu 7.10 and Vista)

Vista was refusing to run while Ubuntu ruan albeti crippled.
CAELinux booted but the graphical environment did not start

Throu a friend I managed to fix the boot, now Vista and Ubuntu run fine, apparently CAELinux made the kernels of Vista and Ubuntu try to load the configuration of CAELinux...

CAELinux still wont run
this the prompt after boot of CAELINUX

Hi,

I tried to install CAELinux 2007 on my laptop (dual boot opensuse 10.3 and windows vista) via the live dvd. I actually wanted to substitute suse by caelinux After the file installation, i was expecting to be able to configure my boot manager, but the installation wizard just closed. As I tried to start my system, my boot was spoiled. I reinstall opensuse and I was able to access my os again. Joel you mentioned the redo-mbr script of the dvd live. Do you think it could be helpful for me. How to use it?

Can somebody help me?

Thanks

Stephan
