Title:
  Ubuntu 11.04 Install Error

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Installer crashed with message to file a new bug report & attach the following files
  /var/log/syslog
  /var/log/partman:

  The install was on a rebuilt PC (AMD Athlon II X2 225 with 2gb ram) using a hard disk (80gb IDE) which had been reformatted and has no other O/S installed. The PC now fails to boot and displays the following:
  Error: file not found
  Grub rescue>

  Please note that I’m completely new to Linux / Ubuntu and thus have no idea how to find and copy the /var/log/syslog or /var/log/partman: files as the PC will not boot.
  The attached pictures may help.
  Any help would be gratefully received.
