Re: installation went really wrong

try changing your primery boot device to boot from the live cd and try reinstalling grub, post fdisk -l output and /boot/grub/menu.lst, seems something went wrong with your grub install.

Try installing 32-bit version and check again. If your system works fine then please file a bug report.
