   (hmm is there a method to attach files via the web interface) (not shown on web page)
   (once I reboot all of this data will disappear) [ running from "LiveDVD"]

   same problem occurred when running install directly from initial
  prompt. Install DVD/USB allows direct install or run "liveDVD" which
  has option to install Ubuntu 11.10

   My first reaction is that there should have been a delay in the
  process to allow the umounts ( sys, proc, dev) to complete before
  attempting to umount /target

   Failing at this point with no recovery means that previous instances
  of grub exist that point to drive instances/UUID that no longer map to
  drives and/or partitions
