I've been having trouble still with 12.10 installs too, I bricked my
toshiba and have had problems thus far with my asus too, no solutions on
either but the asus is functioning so I'm going to factory reset and try
yet again, I've been having problems with it since beta2, can't pinpont any
problem but I'm still suspecting grub error of some kind
