Status today: I was also able to get through booting the 11.04.3 64-bit
version. So I tried to install it.

The problem with the boot sector mentioned in the original description
surfaced again. After getting the 11.04.3 64-bit live cd to run, I tried
installing the system. The install finished correctly, apparently, but
the system would not boot.

Note that I had been running the 32-bit version of 11.04 previously.

I then tried installing a spin of 10.04.2 which has the Boot-Repair
program in it. Running that program did not help the booting problem. I
then re-partitioned the disk slightly differently with gparted, and re-
installed. That didn't help.

I tried booting a couple of versions of Knoppix, looked at the partition
table with gparted, and it looked fine. But the system still wouldn't
boot from the hard disk.

Note that this is a new hard disk, installed since the original report,
and 11.04 has been running on it.

I also tried running grub-install (according to ubuntu instructions for
repairing Grub2); that didn't help either.
