I have tried to attach /var/log/installer/partman, but Launchpad keeeps complaining that it can't upload an empty file (?). Weird, because it's over 300 KB. Maybe you can find the info needed, in hardware.html (output of lshw), which I enclosed in my first message?

By the way: I found a strange report about this particular laptop (Lenovo B570e): according to the author, Ubuntu wrongly identifies the BIOS as being EFI, then tries to install the Grub-EFI, which then ofcourse fails to boot. Because it's an ordinary BIOS, not EFI.

Here's the report, in rather peculiar Russian-like English:
