I installed Ubuntu 12.04 as my main operating system on my Asus EEE PC 1005HA machine. When I restarted the pc, the boot loader didn't come up. I got only a black screen.

During the installation process, a Grub error asking to setup the initialization partition. I choose sda1 and continued, and then a got the no grub screen after restarting.

I reinstall again, (this time there was no error massage) but I still can't see the grub screen.

Is there a special config to install Ubuntu on Asus Netbook? It's to possible to fix my grub from the USB live CD?

The fact that you got set up the initialization partition, it maybe that you partition is not mounted. Below are the steps to do so:

  1. Boot your computer up with Ubuntu CD
  2. Go through all the process until you reach "Disk Partition"
  3. Select Manual Partition
  4. Mount your appropriate Linux partitions

I fixed the bug with [Boot Repair][1]. Just run it and all was fixed. [1]: help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair – zeferino Jun 11 '12 at 14:38
Where the partitions mounted? – Mitch Jun 11 '12 at 14:39
there just one partition, but when I updated grub, it ask me to select where to mount and show two options (my partition and one in usb flash disk). I think that in the first time I mounted grub, it was on the usb flash disk. Even knowing that one of the options was the usb, I select all options to mount grub. – zeferino Jun 11 '12 at 17:14
