I got past the ICEauthority issue but erase and reboot did not work
(again for the 5th time).  I did it by doing an inplace install of
11.04,using notes from a previous conversations.  (I tested on another
partition where it seems to be working fine still.)  I still get the
usr/lib/libconf2-4/gonfi-santity-check-2 exit with status 256 on the
partition in question.  i have tried a number of solutions for this
problem too without success.

I hate to take a lot of everyone's time on this.  I can easily install
10.11 or 11.04 on the partition in question and be done with it.  i
would like to rescue my setup if possible though.  S

Thanks
