(Get the code!)
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.
