Comment 109 for bug 96084

I had the same problem and I fixed it by using the Linux rescue disk and use GParted tool in it to make the Ubuntu Partition Primary (And therefore bootable; Logical partitions ARE NOT bootable if that’s where Ubuntu is sitting!?). Some of the guides misguide on this(don’t remember which!) GRUB also needs to be installed on a Primary Partition( or it will screw up the Ubuntu boot up from the Hard drive).

The error occurs on the Tecra S3 Laptop right after the first reboot,
when Unbuntu 7.04 Live CD has completed the install and tells you to
remove the disk and reboot. The system will come up on its own and then
hangs at that point.
