Bug Description

I used dban http://www.dban.org/ to erase my hd

i used 2 different methods but it doesn't matter, anyway i will tell you that :

in the first computer i used , Gutmann method (xD ) , instead in the second computer : Prng stream 8 pass

Then i have installed successfully kubuntu on both machines, both installed with USB STICK WITH mini iso, in the installer i have selected kubuntu-desktop , without apparent errors , after the standard reboot they did not boot, i have checked the HD and the files were properly installed but the computers did not boot.

I have done a grub-install , chrooting ... and i fixed the problem, so i guess this is a bug in the installer
