Let me go through this slowly. Your reference says,

pata/sata driver on their motherboards...

There seem to be several bug references to various manifestations of
this, some with JMicron (which I don't have), and some to SIS chipsets
(which I do). They date back a few months, some to previous Ubuntu
versions, but there seem to be few fixes.

Well, I'm a beginner, but maybe I can fake it.

This looks like an amazing feat. I guess chroot changes the root folder,
so further commands refer to the hard-disk copy of Ubuntu, and the
installs go there.

Repository gb.archive.ubuntu.com ? This is done with synaptic and apt-get?

> Save, exit chroot and reboot. The system boots fine.

Not sure what that means, but I guess it doesn't matter...

time


What problems might I have, and what do I look out for?
