Here are the logs as requested.The problem also occurs with Herd 2, and these logs are from that installation attempt.
Unfortunately I won't be able to do further tests on this machine... and I could not reproduce the problem on a different centrino machine (the 2nd machine had a different partition layout). We normally use a Linux-based disk replication program (Acronis), and on bootup on the NC6120 we se a message ide2: ports already in use, skipping This might point to some hardware weirdness on the machine - perhaps its built-in card reader? ** Attachment added: "/var/log/partman" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5852554/partman -- Hurd 1 Alternative installation: partition manager fails under specific circumstances https://launchpad.net/bugs/75011 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
