I had includeed a lot of logs now.

Some of them may not look relevant, but i think this error could be an error in the kernel, because in Natty Alpha 2 I had a libparted error, wich come from the fact that the partition table was a PC-BSD (FreeBSD) partition table, and not a MS DOS partition table, and libparted reported that there was a bug in the kernel.

Before I could install Ubuntu natty beta 1, I had to use this workaround:
1) boot the system
2) choose try ubuntu
3) goto admin menu, and start th edisk tool
4)erase the freebsd partition == the whole disk (/dev/sda)
5) close disk tool
6) start GParted
7) create your file systems, make sure you format the partitions
8) reboot
9) install nattty normally

I tried to do a n install, but I could not select /dev/sda,, and 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda'said that it coundn't find anything - that is - the kernel did not understand that it has a BSD partition table on the /dev/sda block device.
