Hello Hassan, thank you for the thorough report. Things are being adressed.

Do you have further insight into the Windows 7 issue?

Regards, Dani

 Hello Daniel,
 
 I have done some test with windows7.
 
 * Booting from Live CD:
 
 I have choose English as language and keyboard fr_CH but the machine
 start with fr keyboard. The same if I choose French as language and
 Swiss French as keyboard.
 
 Some errors on boot but doesn't infect booting. (See screenshoot 1.png)
 
 You should add info related to disk space needed. The space needed for
 installation is 6G. People should be informed. I have prepare only 2G
 the first time and during the partitioning I was blocked because the
 space don't match. 
 
 In the readme file, there's some partners link broken. Like
 er-partner.ch should be erpartner.ch
 
 
 * Booting after install:
 
 After the install, Grub detect correctly windows7 (2.png) but I can't
 boot anymore windows 7 (3.png).
 
 I can boot the ubuntu Swissremix (4.png) without any problem.
 
 I have run your script to finish the installation, there's some errors
 (5.png).
 
 
 If you want I can have a look tomorrow why I can't boot windows anymore.
 
 
 P.S: The attachement will be sent directly to your e-mail.
 
 
 Best regards,

I have seen something similar, the machine had dual boot (Karmic and
XP?) and then Vista or 7 had been installed which overwrote grub.
After I reinstalled the grub boot sector with the help of a live USB
stick, Windows would not boot and complained about NTLDR missing.

The solution was to boot with the Windows install CD (twice!) which
offered a repair option one time and a automatic recovery the other
time, and finally everything was fine. I was impressed by the Windows
CD which did this so easily (and without breaking grub again) but it
was not obvious that you would have to boot the CD twice. However with
some Windows experience you know that rebooting several times in a row
can only be good and beats all logic reasoning.

With older Windows, there is a command line recovery (from CD or 4
floppies!) where you can run two commands, fixboot which rewrites
the boot sector on the Windows partition (might be equivalent to the
above), and fixmbr which rewrites the master boot record (which will
nuke grub again).

HTH,
Tormod

 Do you have a reference to a bug report? I know this was working well
 in 8.10 and also in Lucid when I tried a couple of months ago.

Here is a bug report regarding the Huawei E220. It seems to be a bug of this 
device's firmware, but while older Ubuntus could cope, Karmic can't. A fix 
seems 
committed, but not releasd.

Hey,

 * postinstall script is a dirty procedure, anyone able to do this in a
 nice way?

Is it a script? If it happens to be a shell script I'd like to take a
look at it ;) However I don't really want to download the 3.7GB just
to take a look at the script ;)
