I have had exciting day battling with Ubuntu.
First off, my root partition fille up so X11 wouldn't start. All attempts to resize the partition (qtparted, DiskWorks) failed. What the heck, I had a new disk rive to install, so I thought I would install the lovely new beta.
Hmm, kernel panic..... OEM install isk reveale more details - all around ACPI. Turned that off in the BIOS, on we go. Nice looking install using Ubiquity kept freezing at 88%. Used the naff looking OEM version, but it worked!! Finally!!!
I am now up and running, having copied over /home, some apt configs etc.
The result is good - hopfully folks using the final install will have fewer problems ( though I suspect the ACPI will never be fixed - need new mother board!!)
