OK 1 in 5 boots is successful. This is kubuntu 9.10.

I get the above message sometimes multiple times during a boot. It is not a hardware error, this system was fine under the previous install, and boots to windows without issue.

Partition table entries are not in disk order

//-----------
The last warning has always been there btw, I had to expand the size of the boot partition a long time ago.
Never been an issue before.

This is the weirdest distro! First time ever my broadcom chip worked ootb (this is an HP nx6125 with broadcom wifi), yet it cant boot 80% of the time, and every 45 minutes just freezes up.

Any help much appreciated, I 'm getting desperate!!!
