Everyone has their share of Karmic Koala stories. My re-installations weren't without problems. Here are the ones I personally ran into. No hearsay here...

* Flashing text and no X after installation, but only on one of the four. All four have i945 chips.
* Samba (and network in general) discovery isn't working correctly.
* Avahi doesn't work due to .local domain on the ISP's part,

Rest Here
