Trying to Load Ubuntu 11.04 onto HP Laptop. Failed at reboot

[Peter Fitzpatrick]

Hi Goh

Yes it was done from a live CD boot.

Live CD works fine 
Ubuntu boots up and does everything that I have tried so far. It complains
about it being a minimal install but does things.
Having got that far I thought that installing would be a breeze.

Anyway I will keep trying 

Peter

Okay, thanks for explaining. Figured it might help Peter too with the 
explanation.

Oh, sorry I did not address the earlier cdrom sr0 mount points question. 
Figured it's best on a separate post. I think most likely Peter's boot 
info script is generated from a livecd boot hence the resulting mount 
points.

If that is the case, it also mean that Peter's computer should be able 
to handle running of Ubuntu (which I wonder earlier, considering his 
celeron, etc specs) which again is good to know. Also it cannot be from 
a running OS, otherwise he won't have the problem he's having.

Peter, please confirm that the bootinfo script is generated by running 
livecd.
