@zemelo"Self-changing ring zero code is recipe for disaster, this is a BAD idea."What? Nobody said DKMS means that the kernel modifies itself. AFAIK, DKMS is a user-space system that recompiles third-party drivers when there has been a kernel update, it is completely unrelated to ring 0.
My install was on one disk, two partitions, one NTFS, and the other an EFI partition that isn't touched by any OS, simply used by the BIOS for quickboot (which, incidentally, I had turned off anyway). The Distro was customized for my machine (the Eee PC 1000h), and no mods were made to it. I've installed in this manner before on other machines with no issues, so this was a very strange incident.
Why's itsbradman being dugg down? I've had envy completely ruin an ubuntu install of mine, i couldn't even boot into single user mode...However, the envy developer(s?) have worked closely with the ubuntu developers to make sure that sort of thing doesn't happen anymore, and it's been pretty stable for some time now as i understand it.
