FakeRAID is the culprit. After Dustin patiently explained to me that friends
don't let friends to FakeRAID, I jsut redid the install using the same iso
and all is well now. Took me a while til I had the manual partioning right.
But all is well with the Karmic Koala beta as of yesterday ... unless you use
FakeRAID / Sata RAID / Bios RAID. From the kernel it is fine.

PS But now SMART Data is telling me the new disk may be failing. Bought three
days ago. Sigh.
