I'm very sorry but I don't think I can obtain those logs anymore at
this point. If I would have an extra machine to play with, I'd try to
do it again but I am unable to do that at the moment.

I can inform you that the problem has to do with dual boot system

I had windows preinstalled, and tried to setup a dual boot system and
that caused the ailure as described. I then succeeded in installation
by explicitly specifying

sda1

for grub. I failed that before because I used the parenthesis,

(sda1)

which were also used by default, as in (hd0) .I now believe these
indicate that it is the default rather than having any other meaning.

Anyway, installing to grub sda1 (the windows partition with MBR)
succeeded, but I was then unable to boot.

I then decided that my life would be much simpler without windows
anyway, so I then had Ubuntu erase the entire disk. That worked
marvelously and i am now a very happy ubuntu user.

I hope the extra info is helpful.

Kind regards,

Roland Bouman
