Well I found out the error ...... If you can see the entry for my extended partition , it says cylinder 1276 to cylinder 4865 .
I just consider myself lucky not to confront such problems (HDD ones, my net-wala is as bad as yours). Phew!
Ubuntu cannot handle multiple access concentrators. Its designed to be used with Triband etc ie.DSL modems. If you have only one service on your LAN its ok, else you have to use rp-pppoe package from roaringpenguin website. It also has a GUI config utility to enter service name.
I tried 'sudo pppoeconf' in Dapper today. It didn't ask for access concentrators, but there was a step where it searched for them. Typically there are 3-4 such concentrators on my LAN out of which one works officially, one un-officially and the rest are some freak pppoe services. But in Dapper, I didn't have to worry (just yet - crosses fingers). The net works just fine.
Posting from Ubuntu Dapper now, its great but I just say not easy to configure repos in synaptic as Fedora/Yum . The utility itself is great but the default repo config did not work for me and had to be edited manually as it had some in.ubuntu... mirrors listed which gave 404 errors.
Teething errors are many. I haven't transferred my stuff fully. I'm having problems setting up Firestarter. Just popped back from my second Dapper (re)install.
