My apologies if I've overlooked the answer elsewhere on this board. I have spent the last almost two weeks on and off trying to resolve this issue: can't successfully boot up hard drive after indication of 'successful installation' from live media disk. Every attempt gives me the trace run ending with the Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed
error message. I have attempted as many of the Grub parameter alterations as I have come across as possible fixes to no avail. I am thoroughly comfortable working with Ubuntu. I have installed Ubuntu on laptops in the past both as a dual boot with Windows and as a standalone OS with no problems prior to this.
My hardware: Dell Inspiron 1501 with Sempron 3500+, 2GB RAM, 60GB hard drive, with Ubuntu 13.10 the only OS installed.

I refuse to give up! Please help me! Thanks in advance for any help!
Note: don't mind admitting that I may be overlooking something simple. Therefore, if there is someone who knows for SURE how to resolve this issue, please break it down in a step-by-step way for the benefit of anyone else besides myself. Thanks!
