[QUOTE="biot023, post: 803652, member: 86694"] It completed, but I just had the same problem on reboot. Luckily I've just fixed it -- apparently this is a known bug with mac ubuntu installs. It's recommended that you install rEFIt before doing the install, which obviously I hadn't. For me, I created a bootable rEFIt CD, booted to that & ran the partition utility to fix the boot section of the drive, used SuperDuper! to restore my internal HD again, rebooted, and all was well. Which was a relief! Cheers for everyone's input! Doug. [/QUOTE]
